IV. Background
The forestry profession in Korea and many countries faces enormous challenges in the era of globalization and advanced technologies. There is an emerging need from the changing societies for the forestry professionals as the number of students enrolled in forestry faculties is declining. Forest research and education thus need to restructure their directions, objectives and curricula to cater to the dynamics of the global environment. Therefore, academicians and researchers need to reevaluate the changing demand and should seek better alternatives to educate the students and improve the capabilities of researchers in order to fit and perform effectively at work. The audience of this symposium is composed of professors, researchers, graduate and undergraduate students from universities and institutions who would like to share their views or related information on the challenges and strategies of forest education and research in their respective countries. The number of participants is expected to be more than 250 people.
