[Stoves] Cookstoves Webinar "Cookstove Field Monitoring Technologies - latest advances and FAQs " on August 24th

Wed Aug 3 13:59:17 CDT 2016

Hi Ron,

Sorry to hear you won't be able to join this webinar-- it was quite a scheduling feat to find a time that even we and the presenters were all available!  That said, the proceedings will be posted after the fact at http://www.pciaonline.org/webinars as usual ***AND*** there is a special opportunity to give input into the information presented this time!

As per below, we'll be doing a panel Q&A format, with questions solicited in advance, rather than the usual report-out style with a shorter Q&A at the end.  If you have specific questions you'd like the panel to address, please send them to us at moderator at cookstovesandindoorair.org (please don't only reply to the stoveslist-- I can't keep up there!) in the next week or so, and we'll try our best to cover them!

Best,
Elisa

> Field monitoring technologies for cookstoves cover a range of diverse monitoring needs from health and climate monitoring to usage and adoption. They can help you better understand your impacts, and adapt and strengthen your strategies to better meet the needs of customers and donors. They?re also valuable tools for growing sector knowledge around field use and impacts. Significant advances have been made since EPA and Winrock first covered the topic in a webinar 3 years ago <http://pciaonline.org/webinars/advances_in_cookstove_field_monitoring>. 
>  
> You?ve probably heard about these technologies, but have questions about how they are used practically in the field, what skills are required, what type of data you?ll get at the end of their deployment, and how you can use the results of this type of monitoring.  
>  
> If so ? you?re in luck!  REGISTER TODAY! <https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5011252218682739204> We have assembled a panel of experts on field monitoring across a range of sectors ? including cookstoves ? but also for monitoring water, coldchain and other environmental conservation products and projects. They?re ready to answer as many of your Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about field monitoring as they can in the time allotted. 
>  
> During the registration process for the webinar you?ll have a chance to submit questions for discussion, and we?ll select the most commonly asked to present during the webinar. Time permitting, at the end of the webinar we?ll take additional questions from those in attendance. You?ll also hear about the latest advancements in field monitoring technologies, and some examples and case studies of their use in the field to inform programs and business development.
