  6. The 2009 course was held in Cape Town in April 2009. Please check http://lirneasia.net/capacity-building/training-courses/ periodically. We will post the 2010 course details when our African colleagues, who are in charge of the course now, announce a date/location. LIRNEasia and Asian researchers will continue to be involved, though it will be offered in Africa.
