Asia-Pacific Regional Meeting  Organizing Committee

Dear IFSA’s Asia Pacific Region!

 

Would you like to host the next Asia Pacific Regional Meeting? A new opportunity is here: you can now apply to become the 2024 host and Organizing Committee (OC) of your Regional Meeting!

 

Regional Meetings (RMs) are one of the most iconic IFSA official events. Their main importance relies on strengthening the link between students from the same geographic area and promoting the development of new projects at a regional scale. These events are one of the best opportunities for IFSA members to get to know each other and share different perspectives about forestry education while learning about the history, culture and forestry practices of the hosting country.

 

Requirements:

The applicant must be an IFSA Local Committee (IFSA Ordinary member) at the time of the application.

 

It is possible that LCs partner together to host a meeting. In that case there will be a lead applicant that is going to submit the application and other LCs are listed as co-applicants.

 

How to apply:

You must provide the following documents.

 

  • A Presentation in PDF format about your RM proposal.
  • [Optional]: A short video (5-minute max.) presenting your RM proposal.

Some important points your presentation and video should answer:

 

  • Rough Agenda
  • How many days will the meeting last?
  • What will be the main activities? (includes excursions, visit to companies, fun activities, etc)
  • Draft of a possible route/places to visit.
  • Rough draft of the budget.
  • Possible sponsors/supporters.
  • A rough idea of participation fees.
  • Total Number of participants allowed.
  • Information to motivate IFSA members to visit your country/area: the peculiarity of your forests, food, drinks, cities, landscape, and anything else! 😉
  • Optional: Which emphasis (topics and themes wise) would you give to the meeting?

For further clarification or any other question write an email to the regional representatives.

 

You can check the database of the previous regional meetings here.
