Tertiary Forestry Education Summit - 20 May 2008
Wednesday, 30 April 2008
The IFA Tertiary Forestry Education Summit will be held at the Australian National University on 20 May 2008.
Fran Stevens of FMS Consultancy Services Pty Ltd has been appointed Facilitator for the Summit.
The Institute is holding the Summit with the objective to bring together key stakeholders to address the issues relating to the shortage of foresters caused by the lack of students enrolling for tertiary forestry education courses. An important outcome of the Summit is for the key stakeholders to contribute to the discussions on the day and to support the recommendations arising out of the Summit.
Invitations have been issued to a wide range of selected representatives of industry, government agencies, governments, academia and employers and to IFA members.
