The European Irrigation Association (EIA) is a non-profit association with the mission to promote and improve products, practices and services in managing water resources for urban and agriculture irrigation.
The SYNAA supports the irrigation professionals that provide high quality work in France like the installers, the engineering offices and providers for the park and sports areas.
Paysalia - Landscape, Gardena & Sport fair - is the main landscape show in France and the 2nd biggest one in Europe. The next one will occur in Lyon, France on the 5, 6 and 7 of December of 2017.
As a partner of Paysalia, Synaa has offered a platform to EIA, within the fair, to conjointly organize a roundtable conference about education in irrigation.
The lack of homogenous regulatory frameworks and languages within Europe has been one of the biggest challenges in the development of education in irrigation. Nothing really exists regarding irrigation certifications in developed markets
With full acknowledgement of such challenges, companies, agencies and associations willing to contribute in developing common education and certification platform for improvement of professional skills essential for the sound planning, design, installation and management of irrigation systems have been contacted to join this common effort.
Several irrigation education providers, from Europe and the United States (where a certification of competences is operated), have been invited to share their experience during the conference.
By combining their knowledge, expertise and the providers’ proficiency, the EIA and SYNAA will be able to shape the next steps of uniformed and standardized procedures in education and certification of irrigation professionals at European level.
The EIA/ SYNAA roundtable conference on education in irrigation will happen on December the 5th.
