IFSA LC GMU MAINBOARD

the History of IFSA

It all began in Great Britain in 1973 with an annual meeting of forestry students: the International Forestry Students Symposium (IFSS). The event was held there for thirteen years and the goal was to provide forestry students with a platform where they could meet their counterparts from other countries, discuss their ideas and views and create an atmosphere of solidarity and inspiration. During the following years the symposium attracted more and more students.

The first accomplishment of these meetings was the creation of INFOCENTER; an office established to co-ordinate the exchange of information among forestry students. During the 18th IFSS in Lisbon, Portugal in 1990, the participants decided to expand the co-operation between forestry students beyond the annual symposium. At the constitutional assembly of IFSA, the founding member associations approved provisional statutes and elected the first representative organs. INFOCENTER was relocated and took on the official role as IFSA's communicative and informational organ. The following year, the 19th IFSS was organised in the Netherlands. This symposium turned out to be a great success with 112 participants from 38 countries; it was the first time that students from all continents were represented. The following symposium was organised in Italy (1992). Here the third General Assembly (GA) designated a central organ, the Secretariat, to be responsible for the association's bureaucratic tasks, internal communications and all INFOCENTER duties. The Secretariat, thus, fully assumed its role as IFSA headquarters.

IFSA became a truly world-wide organisation when the new statutes were finally approved in 1994 at the fifth GA during the 22nd IFSS in Switzerland. The association was officially registered as a charity organisation with its seat in Göttingen, Germany.

Five years later, with the adoption of the revised Statutes, Decrees and By-laws, the general assembly moved the seat to Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

some info About WGC 2010

Energy Independence Powered by Geothermal.

New Energy Future being nurtured in Bali. As the ministers, dignitaries and experts from different countries gather in Bali to participate in the World Geothermal Congress and Exhibition 2010 from 25-30 April 2010, the stage is set for exchange of ideas and sharing of experiences not only on technical and financing aspects but also on policy and global politics of the energy sector. Highlights of the event include high powered panel discussions, Chief Executive Officer summit, Exhibition and a Bali Declaration by the Congress participants.

The climate change issue and more recently, the energy security concerns triggered by the oil price hike have resulted in geothermal energy resource emerging as a mainstream energy option.

Worldwide geothermal power capacity approached 10GWe at the end of 2006 and is expected to increase by another 2GWe by 2010. In Indonesia more than 1000 MW of geothermal power capacity has been installed. Not surprising therefore, that WGC2010 has received an overwhelming response from all over the world. Participants from 80 countries are expected to participate in this mega event of the year and 800 presentations will highlight the latest development in worldwide geothermal energy utilization. The congress has other than academicians, experts and policy makers, also participants from the leading geothermal industry players. We will respond to the call for papers and the stage is set for high level deliberations on key issues such as Keynotes, Case Histories, Country Updates, Environmental and Societal Aspects, Legal and Regulatory Aspects, Economic and Financing, Privatization. Sustainability, Geosciences, Engineering and Reservoir Engineering, Drilling Technology, Grid Integration, possible role of international renewable energy agency and climate change.

WGC2010 is supported by many governments with high-level representatives attending from China, Germany, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, New Zealand, The Philippines, Uganda and USA. And also from international institutions and financial organizations such as The World Bank, UNEP and European Union.
