World timber engineering conference scholarships awarded
Thank you to the many talented early career engineers who applied for a Gottstein scholarship to attend the World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE) that's happening in Brisbane in late June 2025.
It was a tough task to select the final six people. Congratulations go to the receipients, who are listed below.
George FitzPatrick, Jasmin Goldberg, Tyson Mosely, Nipun Koliyabandara, Liam van der Westhuizen and Danny Watson -were each awarded a scholarship by the Gottstein Trustees selection panel. We're sure that each will gain a great deal from this special opportunity, make new friends and come away even more inspired about their capacity to contribute to this innovative essential industry.
The conference is clearly shaping up to be a fantastic learning and networking event, and The Gottstein Trust is proud to be supporting it with these six scholarships.
The WCTE global organising committee is led by Professor Keith Crews. A prominent timber research leader, he is the Director of the Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Research Hub to Advance Timber in Australia’s Built Environment, hosted at the University of Queensland. A specialist in research and design of large scale timber structures he's internationally recognised as an expert on Sustainable Infrastructure. He's also a very nice person - Keith is a former Gottstein Fellow and a valued contributor to the Gottstein Understanding Wood Science course (pictured). We wish him and the entire organising committee very best wishes for the conference.
