53rd International Forestry Students’ Symposium
Green Heroes: Fostering Youth Action towards Forest Multiyears Resources.
16 – 30 August 2025, Indonesia
The International Forestry Students’ Symposium (IFSS) is the biggest annual IFSA meeting. It’s a platform with an atmosphere of solidarity and inspiration, that enables the students to participate in various forestry activities, exchange information and share their experiences.
Engaging students
Fostering interactions and engagement of over 100 international students
Professional practices
Learning about local forestry practices from the pioneers
Cultural exchange
Creating a space for cultural exchange among students from across the globe
The programme will include field trips, lectures and workshops to learn about topics such as the structure of Indonesia 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 programme we will have a roundtrip over the course of two weeks, covering various parts of Indonesia.
The International Forestry Students’ Association is one of the largest international networks of students in forestry and related sciences. IFSA is a globally organized and locally operating students’ organisation connecting forest and related science students to their peers and forest related organisations and policy platforms.
With more than 130 member associations also known as Local Committees (LC), spread across over 50 countries, IFSA unites thousands of students in their endeavour to learn about forests, cultures and the environment. IFSA is a non-political, non-profit and non-religious organisation that is entirely run by students.
In 2025 we are hosting the 53rd IFSS in Indonesia and will provide participants from all over the world with the opportunity to learn about our country and its forests.
