Fellows in the 2012 training programme present their individual projects
Today the fellows in this year’s six-month training course presented their individual project work in an open seminar at the Agricultural University of Iceland. The fellows have been working on their projects since this spring, under the supervision of professionals in Iceland. In addition to giving an oral presentation, the project work includes writing a comprehensive report. Each fellow selected a subject for the project that is of interest and importance to them and their institution, and is related to land management challenges in their home countries.
