ICV-7 is organized to commemorate His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great’s life-long dedication to uplift the people well-being through several royal initiatives. One among them is the introduction of the utilization of vetiver grass for soil and water conservation which has brought about positives changes in Thailand in terms of agricultural promotion, disaster prevention, bio-engineering, pollution control and so on. In remembrance of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, the Office of the Royal Development Projects Board and the Chaipattana Foundation will be responsible for all expenses in organizing ICV-7.

Therefore, no registration fee has to be paid for attending the conference and the post-conference technical tours as well as the international vetiver handicraft training course. All participants will receive, as a compliment from the Organizing Committee, the admission to all sessions, conference materials as well as all coffee breaks, meals during the conference period. However, the participants are required to pay for their own domestic/international travel and accommodation during the conference period.
