Motivation of excellence in forestry research
1990
Burley, J.
Forestry cannot be considered as a single, commodity and research is not a homogeneous activity. Forestry and its research are carried out in various topics, stages and types, locations, institutions, ecological zones, and stage of country development. Excellence in research can apply to individual scientists, specialist groups, whole institutions, networks of institutions, and the managers of any of these. There is thus a multi-dimensional matrix within which to identify appropriate motivations for excellence. Research excellence itself may have different implications for scientists, science managers, and financiers and policy-makers. Motivating forces (incentives) are also varied but can be summarized simplistically as fame and fortune. However, other factors may be equally important to individuals (security, career structure, personnel policies, creative freedom, relevance of research not just fashionableness, resources, managerial methods and general working environment). The structure and composition of the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO) is described and a summary of Canadian activities in IUFRO is included.
