Many thanks for your interest - I will going to visit and attend a meeting in Lucknow from 14 to the 18th of this month (in a week) - however, will be happy to hear more about you interest in soil fauna - composition, etc. I am sure that we can find mutual interest that may lead to collaboration.
Thanks for your interest in the KEYSOM project. This EU COST Action is running in its final year, and i think there is little possibility to join in the field studies any more. But some of the meetings and training schools are open. Not sure though whether your participation would be financially supported by COST, since India is not affiliated to my knowledge You should find out yourself. To see for our meeting announcements, google for KEYSOM, or COST Action 1406. Contact the coordinator to join the consortium, if participation by Indian partners would be eligible after all. Next training school will be in Tartu, April next year.
