Event Description:
Forest Research Management in an Era of Globalisation Conference
Washington DC, USA, 18th-19th April 2007

In an era of globalisation for forest industry, challenges to sustaining the world's forests and the role of forest managers in making sound policy choices for forest research is of increasing importance. Join IUFRO president Don Lee and colleagues, Peter Mayer, Niels Elers Koch and the USDA Forest Service's first female Chief, Abigail Kimbell and others at an exciting conference for all those responsible for science development and management. The goals of this conference, initiated by IUFRO unit 6.06.00, are to gather scientists and decision makers for managing forest research, including directors and deans of forest research institutes, universities and other related institutions in order to exchange views, share experiences and thus contribute to further improvement of forest research management globally.
