Utilization of natural resources over the border of Finland and Russia - perspectives of natural and social sciences

Event
11.11.2014 (All day) - 12.11.2014 (All day)
Location: 
University of Eastern Finland, Yliopistokatu 3 (Aurora, Entrance B, Auditorium AU100) , Joensuu, Finland

The research days focus on natural resources both in Finland and Russia.  Animals, rivers, vegetation types as well as mineral deposits run in both sides of the border, but the management and policies often change at border. What we can learn from the differences and similarities? What are impacts of the policies in both sides of the borders? How use of resources changes when crossing the border?  By raising these questions, we aim to inspire discussion on use and value of natural resources and challenge to find new perspectives on researching natural resources.

Realising the bio-economy

Invitation to a Nordic Seminar
08.09.2014 12:00 - 16:00
Location: 
Nordregio,Skeppsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden

The "bio-economy" has become a concept that links the challenges and opportunities with the transition to sustainable development.There is a need to generate new ways of working, new processes, services and products that can contribute to such a transition. Research and policy actors nationally and internationally are supporting various initiatives to address this need- not least with the establishment of the EU Bioeconomy Observatory. Collaborations across disciplines and stakeholders are a must to contribute to the realisation of the bioeconomy.

Thematic Day of ENERWOODS Project

Event
26.08.2014 08:45 - 17:30
Location: 
Skog og landskap (Forest and Landscape Institute), Høgskoleveien 8, Ås, Norway

Welcome to join the thematic day on active forest management for increasing biomass production in Norway. 

Biomass from forestry will be the most important contribution to achieve Government objectives of doubling the share of renewable bioenergy in Norway by 2020 and to reduce fossil energy. This seminar will highlight some potential silvicultural measures to increase biomass production in the region.

The seminar will be a mix of popular and scientific information, and will include both a lecture and an excursion. 

II Workshop on Silvicultural technology: Recent progress in Silvicultural technology - a workshop on new techniques/technologies and simulation and system analyses for target-oriented silviculture

Event
26.08.2014 (All day) - 27.08.2014 (All day)
Location: 
Suonenjoki , Finland

The workshop takes place at Finnish Forest Research Institute, Suonenjoki Research Unit as a joint  arrangement between SLU and METLA. Senior researchers and PhD-students as well as people from  operational forestry, forest authorities and other forest organizations are invited to the workshop.
