The research, education and extension programs will focus on the protection of soil and water quality with an emphasis on the application of manure to agricultural land. The collaborative research program will result in, 1) at least two joint research publications, 2) at least two joint conference presentations, 3) two presentations by the K.U. Leuven exchange student at TAMU, and 4) two joint grant proposals. The collaborative publications will present the research findings from the exchange research program in peer-reviewed journals. Authorship will include both the faculty members and the exchange students. The exchange students will present the research findings in at least two international conferences, one in the U.S. and one in Europe. The K.U. Leuven exchange student will give two presentations to students and faculty at the Borlaug Institute at TAMU.
