You are invited to participate in the workshop “Reconciling agriculture and environment by the open-access GeoSpatial Decision Support System LANDSUPPORT” that will be held online on the 18th September 2020 (2 pm- 4pm CET) at the iEMSs 2020 conference.
The International Institute for Sustainability Australia (IIS AU), will organize a series of four webinars to gather views on the development of a decision-support platform for spatial optimization planning of forest ecosystem restoration - take the chance to participate in this!
The provision of multiple functions of forests is becoming an increasingly important part of forest management. Traditional forest management is mostly timber-oriented. Forests, however, provide a broad range of ecosystem services that are critically important for society. Therefore, sustainable forest management is expected to reflect public demands with often contradictory interests which put a pressure on forests. Modern sustainable forest management has to consider more than one management objective and includes many stakeholders.
EURO 2021 is the largest and most important conference for Operational Research and Management Science (OR/MS) in Europe organized by EURO – the European Association of Operational Research Society and the Hellenic Operational Research Society (HELORS).
The conference 31th European Conference on Operational Research (EURO XXXI), in Athens, Greece will be held at the University of West Attica (UNIWA) in Athens located in the area of the Holy Olive Grove ‘Eleonas’ of the ancient Athenians from July 11-14, 2021.
The severity of forest fires has increased substantially worldwide. This severity is prone to increase as a consequence of global change, e.g. climate and socioeconomic change. This suggests the need for the development of a coherent wildfire risk management strategy. This poses a challenge to forest researchers and managers as this strategy calls for methods and tools to help integrate forest and fire management planning activities that are often carried out independently of each other.
