Faculty of Forestry celebrates 120th anniversary

Author: Snježana Pezer

ZAGREB, Oct 18 (Hina) - The Zagreb Faculty of Forestry is celebrating its 120th anniversary and Minister of Science and Education Blazenka Divjak on Thursday commended that faculty's efforts in educating personnel that are needed in the economy and science, underscoring that, based on a government decision, faculties should in future have 17% more funds at their disposal from the state budget.

The Academy for Forestry was founded on 20 October 1898. This raised forestry education in Croatia to an academic level. At the same time, the Faculty of Forestry is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Wood Technology Department.

Faculty of Forestry Dean Tibor Pentek underscored the importance of forestry and the faculty for the economy. "We in particular take pride with the fact that graduate forestry engineers today manage 47% of land area in Croatia. The Wood Technology Department at our faculty educates experts in the wood industry and furniture manufacturing, while forestry and wood technology jointly account for 4.5% of Gross Domestic Product and employ 45,000 people," Pentek said.

To date 7,500 engineers have graduated or obtained masters' degrees in forestry and wood technology at the faculty, he said.
