Gottstein Trust Applications J.W.Gottstein Memorial Trust Fund Applications for Fellowships and Awards Applicants for these opportunities should be aware that the Trust places great stress on the dissemination of the information obtained from their tenure. Gottstein Fellow Fellowships are awarded to assist persons from or associated with Australian forest industries to further their experience, education or training either within or outside Australia.
Proposals are welcome from any area of the industries with an emphasis on value-adding.
Candidates are selected on the value of the project and on their ability to carry it out and disseminate the information acquired. There is no formal educational requirement for Fellowship applicants. Successful applicants are obliged to conduct the agreed research and to provide to the Trustees, within three months from the end of the research period, or within such further period allowed by the Trustees, a detailed draft written report which describes the scope of the Research, the results of the Research, the organisations visited and the particulars of projects or processes investigated by the Fellow. Findings or recommendations which the Fellow considers to be for the future benefit of the forest products industry in Australia should also be included. The Trustees will arrange for review of the draft report by a competent reviewer and Fellows are expected to revise their report in the light of the reviewer's recommendations, and resubmit the report in final form within two months of the receipt of the reviewer's comments.
