Dr. Evans Osabuohien's World TravelsDr. Evans Osabuohien at the recent Conference on Land Policy in Africa in Addis Ababa, Ehthiopia IGI Global Editor Dr. Evans Osabuohien was recently awarded a travel grant and conference pass to attend Nobel Week Dialogue in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 9th 2014.

To be held at the Stockholm City Conference Centre, this year’s Nobel Week Dialogue (NWD) aims to introduce new perspectives on the challenges and opportunities of aging. Gathering together a unique constellation of Nobel Laureates, world-leading scientists, experts and thought leaders, along with the general public, attendees will take part in ‘NWD14’, a dialogue on the scientific and cultural implications of our aging world.

Six Nobel Laureates and world-leading experts will participate in NWD to share new scientific and cultural perspectives on aging. One of the highlights in the program is a conversation about immortality between Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel and world-renowned artist Jeff Koons. The talk is part of the full day of events aiming to stimulate global dialogue between science and society. More information on this conference at http://www.nobelweekdialogue.org/.

Dr. Osabuohien recently returned from the inaugural Conference on Land Policy in Africa, held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from November 11th-14th, 2014, where he presented on his recent research and IGI Global title. Dr. Osabuohien reported a very successful turn-out, including attendees ranging from government leaders, parliamentarians, farmers, researchers, as well as several contributors to his IGI Global publication Handbook of Research on In-Country Determinants and Implications of Foreign Land Acquisitions.

The conference provided a forum for presenting research activities and directed the attention of a comprehensive range of stakeholders on the issues and status of land policy in Africa. The conference also served as a platform for showcasing emerging and promising practices, and facilitating networking among land experts and land professionals in Africa. More information on this conference at: http://www.uneca.org/clpa. See the previous Newsroom post, "Dr. Evans Osabuohien to Present at the Conference on Land Policy in Africa."

Dr. Osabuohien's title Handbook of Research on In-Country Determinants and Implications of Foreign Land Acquisitions is a premier reference that examines the economic, sociological, and environmental issues surrounding land transactions and the impact these deals may have on local households and communities. Focusing on international issues as well as domestic concerns, this publication is a useful reference for policymakers, academics, researchers, and advanced-level students in various disciplines.

Part of the Advances in Finance, Accounting, and Economics (AFAE) Book Series, this collection aims to publish comprehensive and informative titles in all areas of economics and economic theory, finance, and accounting to assist in advancing the available knowledge and providing for further research development in these dynamic fields.
