Register of experts on environment

In 2003 the International Centre for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI) has started a long-term project to produce a Register of Experts on Environment.

Purpose of the register: The register should appeal to UNEP, other organizations of UN system and as well as international and national environmental and financial organizations, interested in contacts and collaboration with environmental experts in the Russian Federation, other EECCA countries for preparation of global or regional environmental studies and outlooks, project assessment, conferences, etc.

Form of implementation and content: The register will be produced as a regularly updated hard-copy and electronic (CD and web-based) publication and contain referral information (contact data, scope of professional expertise, international experience, etc.) in English and Russian on environmental experts from countries of the EECCA region. Experts wishing to participate in the Register are kindly requested to fill out a questionnaire available here.

Subject scope of expert's specialization: Subject sections will be categorized according to international standards and practice.
At the initial/pilot stage it is planned to limit the subject scope of the register to the following selected thematic fields (adjustments possible):
- environmental information (environmental information systems, access to environmental information, environmental information tools, etc.);
- environmental law (environmental legislation, regulations, etc.);
- environmental technology (concepts of cleaner production, energy saving technologies, pollution prevention, clean-up, etc.);
With account of the pilot stage experience, as well as recommendations of UNEP and other interested partners, the subject scope of the register could be extended and other subjects included, e.g., monitoring, environmental assessment, etc.
Geographical coverage: RF - pilot stage, EECCA - second stage, ICSTI member states (18 countries of Europe, Asia & L.America) - third stage.
Project duration: 2003 - 2005.
Please forward filled out questionnaires or possible quires here.
