Description
1) Objective
This initiative is particularly important as it brings together the collective expertise and resources of the Nordic and Baltic countries. By promoting cross-border co-operation, the initiative encourages a holistic approach to sustainable forestry, integrating scientific research, innovative technology, and sustainable management practices. It creates a platform for sharing knowledge, addressing common challenges, and developing solutions tailored to the region’s unique ecological and economic contexts.
One of the key benefits of the initiative is its ability to foster collaboration among researchers, stakeholders, and governments. This collaboration strengthens the region’s capacity to tackle critical issues such as forest resilience, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable wood production. By working together, the Nordic and Baltic countries can lead the way in developing innovative approaches to forestry that not only preserve ecosystems but also enhance the long-term sustainability of forest resources.
The purpose of this call is to improve the skills and abilities of early-career scientists in forest-related research in the Nordic and Baltic countries, preparing them to take part in national and international research projects. This provides opportunities for capacity building and addressing complex issues in forest-related research within all disciplines.
