CESEF
Cost Effective, Social and Environmentally Friendly Building Materials and Construction Techniques "SHARE AND SHOP" workshop, 23rd - 25th May 2007 Concept Paper CESEF is a technology transfer project implemented by skat_consulting and funded by the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation. CESEF (Cost Effective, Social and Environment Friendly, Building Materials and techniques) was initiated in Nepal from January 2005, which concentrates mainly on providing "Clean Building Technology" solutions for the country. The purpose of this project is to provide access to field-tested sustainable building material production systems for small and medium enterprises. The programme focuses on improvements of three core indicators, Economics, Environment and Social components through cost optimization, reduction of embodied energy and local job creation in this sector. We recognize that proper know-how and hands on experience in the relevant subject matter is required for development and implementation of any projects. Knowledge is a key for the successful implementation; hence, access to know-how and best practices is the prior need for sustainable developments of such innovative building products. Yet, the Traditional knowledge management approach usually taps, existing knowledge within formal systems such as databases and magazines. The kind of dynamic "know-how" that makes a difference in practice requires the participation of practitioners who are fully engaged in the process of creating, refining, communicating, and using knowledge. Thus, it is necessary to bring such practitioners together to enhance mutual learning, constructive face-to-face interaction and to allow to build valuable networks for future collaboration. In order to initiate a community of practice in the sustainable building material sector, we would like to organize a small international exhibition and Forum to share and shop the knowledge amongst practitioners who are active in the innovative building material production and its application. It is an information market for sharing and learning where all parties contribute information and knowledge for creating new and innovative ideas. Objective:
Date: 23rd to 25th May 2007 Registration: Interested participants should register not later than 30th of April 2007. Please contact: Ms. Jenish Joshi CESEF Coordinator E-mail: jenish@vsbk.org.np Funding arrangements: For selected participants all expenses (accommodation, meals and transportation within Nepal only) related to the event will be financed by the CESEF programme Nepal. Exhibition: Interested participants will bring along documentation (brochures, documentary, photographs, movies, etc) and / or sample products to support their innovative building materials / technologies. The exhibition will be held during the first day of the event and will be open to national engineers, architects, policy makers and other interested individuals Further information on CESEF: Please visit our web page: www.vsbknepal.com/cesef/index.htm |
