Models and decision SUpport tools for integrated FOrest policy development under global change

We invite you to participate in the Open Seminar 'Models and decision SUpport tools for integrated FOrest policy development under global change',  to be held in Lisbon, February 18.

This international seminar will focus on the current state of knowledge on methods and tools that may be used by public administrators, forest owners and industry for enhanced integration of adaptive strategies in forest management planning as well as in policy analysis in a context of global change. It will also show state of the art research in  institutions participating in the SuFoRun international project (http://suforun.ctfc.cat/). SuFoRun is focused on forestry and climate change interactions, including the development of adaptive forest management tools. The SuFoRUn consortium is built to include highly qualified research institutions in nine countries (i.e. Spain, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Costa Rica, Chile, Brazil and USA) that share complementary interests in key scientific disciplines for the development of the forest sector. The project will serve to exchange and generate knowledge on multipurpose forests, addressing risk and uncertainty and the development of knowledge on methods and tools to support policy analysis and development in a context of global change. The project strengthens research collaboration through active networking, staff exchange and dissemination activities between the participants.
