SILVA Network Annual Conference 2021

Digitalization in higher Forest Education - Teaching and learning revisited

On behalf of the SILVA Network, we would kindly invite you to join our next Annual Conference on higher forestry education. It is now scheduled for July 7-8, 2021. 

Taking into account the ongoing difficulties in travelling and accommodation, the organizing team decided to offer a digital format for the conference. We are aware that personal contacts have been key for our network for many years, but after postponing the conference for one year already it would not be reasonable to wait even longer. The best time to share our experiences in digitalization in teaching and learning is now!

Find out more about topics and procedures in the First Announcement.

Our primary objective is to stimulate and facilitate educational cooperation in the field of higher forest education in Europe. We are interested and experienced in

• curriculum development and creation of joint courses
• permanently improving and assuring quality of forest education
• enhancing capacity building in other continents by network development and partnership
• facilitating educational cooperation by student and staff exchange
• developing new methods of teaching and learning by using ICT and digitalization.
• strongly involving students in the respective activities.

Starting with a small number of participants more than 30 years ago, SILVA Network today comprises more than 50 universities and universities of applied sciences all over Europe.
