Four new research programmes
We recognize that sector specific and global challenges need concerted action and collective solutions, underpinned by robust, applied science. To be able to manage and build resilient and sustainable golf facilities, we need new competence and knowledge. Because of this need, in 2024, the STERF board worked intensely to create four new international and trans-disciplinary R&D programmes;
R&D programme Winter stress and integrated pest management
R&D programme Sustainable Use of Natural Resources in Golf Course Management
R&D programme New technologies for a sustainable future
R&D programme Multifunctional golf courses and ecosystem services -Landscape perspective.
