24th – 25th of September 2019. Ubatuba, (Brasil).
Purpose:
This international seminar will focus on the presentation of models, methods and decision support systems developed during the secondments performed at SuFoRun institutions. These models and methods that may be used by public administrators, forest owners and industry for forest management planning in a context of global change. In addition, the seminar will further include some presentations from invited speakers, which will present state-of-the-art models and methods used in other countries. This seminar is the last seminar organized under the SuFoRun international R&D project (https://suforun.ctfc.cat/) and is organized by Centre de Ciència I Tecnoligia Forestal de Catalunya (CTFC, Spain), and University of Sao Paulo.
SuFoRun is Marie Skodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) action funded by the European Union H2020. 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.
