The Research School in Future Silviculture invites you to an open webinar where researchers at the Faculty of Forest Sciences can listen to what challenges companies, authorities and others with an interest in the future use and conservation of forests, face. This is the first step in a call for industry and collaboration PhD student projects.
Here up to eight PhD student projects can be funded to research the sustainable forestry of the future, while promoting the supply of skills in this area outside SLU. The Research School in Future Silviculture is part of the major research initiative WIFORCE - Wallenberg Initiative in Forest Research - which is supported by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW).
Updated Zoom information - see Facts below
Webinar 1 October
Companies, authorities and other stakeholders are welcome to give short presentations on how they view their challenges and research needs for a future resilient use and conservation of forests. A presentation will be given live during the webinar and is supplemented by a submitted text document or powerpoint/similar. All SLU staff at the Faculty of Forest Sciences with an interest in these research areas are welcome to attend. Those unable to attend will be able to access written material from the webinar afterwords. At the webinar, the Research School in Future Silviculture will also provide information on how the call process is organised.
The webinar is held in Swedish.
