Pétition Contre la Fracturation Hydraulique (ou "Fracking") au Maroc

Après l'annonce de la découverte de grandes réserves de gaz de schiste au Maroc, les avis diffèrent entre optimisme et appréhension.
Une pétition lancée dernièrement invite à beaucoup de précaution quant à la manière avec laquelle ces ressources énergétiques vont être exploitées; en effet, la fracturation hydraulique, connue aussi sous le nom de "fracking" cause une polémique internationale quant à ses enjeux et son grand danger sur l'environnemment.
Afin de soutenir cet appel à prudence, vous êtes invités à joindre votre signature à cette pétition sur le lien suivant: http://bit.ly/16q6NUJ

The African Academy of Sciences (AAS) and the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) are pleased to invite you and/or your institution to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for a new fellowship scheme and institutional capacity strengthening programme that will enhance research into the impacts of climate change.

The GBP 4.8m programme titled, Climate Impacts Research Capacity and Leadership Enhancement (CIRCLE), is funded by the UK government and will strengthen both institutional and individual research capacity.  It will fund maximum one-year fellowships for 60 post-Doctoral and 40 post-MSc researchers and concurrently run a programme for strengthening institutional research management and support for early career academics. The fellowships will cover the full cost of a one-year placement at another (host) African institution and will commence in 2014.
