For 2024\, there were 36 registered online participants whereby 18 students (funded by DFATs new Colombo Plan) participated on work placements in Fiji and engaged in projects such as geological hazard mapping and assessment\, environmental monitoring of river gravel extraction\, river gravel resource assessment\, and exploring the role of stone in Fiji’s architectural and cultural heritage.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
