Vth International Symposium on Horticultural Research, Training and Extension

The theme of the symposium will be Research Training and Extension in Horticultural Science: Staff, Student, Institution and Industry Partnerships in a Changing World. Accordingly, research papers, posters and case studies that address the following key issues will be most welcome:

• The impact of changing research training and extension pressures on environmental and production horticulture programs throughout the world?
• How might this impact be addressed?
• To deal effectively with issues of research training and extension in horticultural science, what will be the relevant skill set required for staff, students and industry into the next decade?
• How can we partner and market persuasive cases to sustain research training and extension in horticulture at education and training institutions in the future?

Contributions will be welcomed from academics, researchers, executives, consultants, government officers, graduate students and growers. All papers will be subject to a blind peer review and the papers that are accepted will be published in a special edition of ACTA HORTICULTURAE.
