About IFSS
The International Forestry Students’ Symposium (IFSS) is the biggest annual IFSA meeting. It’s a platform of knowledge transfer and inspiration that enables the students to experience various forestry practices, exchange their experiences and connect internationally. In a nutshell, the IFSS is a 16-days event with over 100 forestry students participating. Coordination is being done by the Organizing Committee run by volunteers. We are hosting the 51st IFSS in Germany from 16th of August to 1st of September 2023 and will provide participants from all over the world with the opportunity to learn about our country and its forests. The main emphasis lies on the transformation which German forestry is facing at present. This will be embedded within a comprehensive portrayal, including the understanding of the structure of German forestry, history and traditional use, different forest types, dynamics of climate change, as well as mitigation and adaptation strategies. In order to realise this diverse program we will have a roundtrip over two weeks, covering big parts of GermanyAbout IFSA
