This action provides partial support for the 8th International Congress on Nitrogen Fixation. Its theme is "Achievements and Objectives in Nitrogen fixation." The Congress deals with the process of nitrogen fixation. This occurs either by the industrial Haber-Bosch process or through biological nitrogen fixation mediated by the nitrogenase enzyme complex. Such biological nitrogen fixation is found to occur in free-living organisms (such as Klebsiella) or in symbiotic associations (usually with plants such as legumes or ferns). The Congress thus integrates scientists from many different disciplines. Research into processes of nitrogen fixation involves biological chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, plant breeding, molecular biology, ecology and forestry. Scientists from different organizations representing academia, industry and government are expected to attend. Past congresses attracted around 600 participants with a slight upward trend in overall attendance. The Congress is planned to be integrative and forward looking. Both oral and poster sessions are scheduled. Special review and integrative lectures are planned as are provocative issue workshops.

这一行动为第8届国际固氮大会提供了部分支持。它的主题是“固氮的成就和目标”。大会讨论了固氮过程。这可以通过工业的Haber-Bosch工艺实现，也可以通过固氮酶复合体介导的生物固氮实现。这种生物固氮被发现发生在自由生活的有机体(如克雷伯氏菌)或共生组织中(通常与豆类或蕨类植物)。因此，大会汇集了来自许多不同学科的科学家。对固氮过程的研究涉及生物化学、生物化学、遗传学、微生物学、植物育种、分子生物学、生态学和林业。来自代表学术界、工业界和政府的不同组织的科学家预计将出席。过去的大会吸引了大约600名与会者，总出席人数略有上升趋势。大会计划具有综合性和前瞻性。口头会议和海报会议都已安排。计划举办特别复习和综合讲座，以及挑衅性问题研讨会。
