[edit] Background
This DAAD funded workshop took place along the World Forestry Congress in Durban and Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. We organized this student and alumni workshop together with the Department of Forest and Wood Science, Stellenbosch University. Thanks to the funding of DAAD, we are now looking back to a series of very successful student and alumni workshops that bring together DAAD funded international students from our international Master program (TIF) and professionals and alumni from all over the world. For more background information on prior workshops in this series we refer to the Category:DAAD workshops.
For the first time the World Forestry Congress will be hosted in Africa to bring together the global forestry community to review and analyze the key issues and to share ways of addressing them. The policy processes to implement the measures in these conventions on sub-national, national, regional and international level are extremely complex. And that complexity comes, among other factors, from a blend of different sectoral and national interests, from a large number of scientifically not yet entirely resolved issues and a wide range of different biophysical, social, cultural and political conditions all over the world. It is a challenge for academia to educate the future decision makers (who are our students today) in a way that they are enthusiastic about the overall relevance of these processes – but also about the many details that are to be worked on. And it is a challenge to integrate this education into regular curricula because various dimensions need to be covered in a field that is rapidly further developing. On the other hand, these processes offer a unique possibility to illustrate the important – and sometimes somewhat neglected – science-policy interface. The Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology started in 2010 to implement a new format of what we would call “long-term / sustainable national capacity building”. Along the World Forestry Congress we organize the workshop “Bridging the gap between forest information needs and forest inventory capacity –challenges for academia and governments in Africa regarding national forest monitoring and assessment” for master-students and professors from partner universities (alumni of German universities).
[edit] Guest lectures
The program for our workshop is divided in two parts. Before we meet on our workshop in South Africa there will be an introductory seminar with guest lectures held at the University of Göttingen. These presentations gave an introduction to the role of International Forestry Policies and the role of National Forest Data and Information. During the lectures more than 80 interested Professors, scietific staff and students participated. We were happy about the high level speakers. PLesae find the presentations for your information below.
