Christian
Kugge plans to study Raman spectroscopy by using state-of-the-art
confocal Raman spectrometer, Atomic Force microscope and Scanning
Near-Field Optical Microscope instruments at the Institute
of Surface Chemistry in Stockholm. He intends to analyse wood
and paper samples for binder and resin distribution. He will
also attend an Advanced Coating Fundamentals Symposium in
Montreal, Canada. His Fellowship should assist him in his
quest for more cost-effective and better-performing coatings
for the Australian industry.

| Jodie
Mason will travel to North America to
study how forest certification affects changes in management
practices and processes. She intends to identify those changes
resulting from certification that may benefit Autralian forest
managers. She also seeks to identify examples of successful
stakeholder engagement themes and processes which address sensitive
forest management issues. |
