SUMMARY:Spotlight on genetic diversity: An unseen ally in adapting forests to drought
DESCRIPTION:FOREST EUROPE continues with its successful webinar series “From the roots to the canopy” this time teaming up with FORGENIUS and EUFORGEN to talk about FOREST ADAPTATION TO DROUGHT STRESS. \nWith our new webinar\, “SPOTLIGHT ON GENETIC DIVERSITY: An unseen ally in adapting forests to drought\,” we aim to provide an understanding of the genetics underlying drought adaptation. \nDuring this webinar we will learn what happens to a tree under drought and how drought is affecting European forests. How does drought stress vary among species\, among populations\, among individual trees and how do we understand the genetic bases of such variation? Why does it matter\, and how can this knowledge be applied in practice? \nThis webinar is specifically for you if you are a member of the FOREST EUROPE signatories\, observer organizations and countries\, forest owner\, forest manager\, policymaker\, research organization\, or an interested person. \nStay tuned for updates on this upcoming event. Check here the official invitation. \nFollow the discussions live on our YouTube channel:

SUMMARY:High-Level Talks 2023 | Growing healthier forests: How can Sustainable Forest Management enhance resilience?
DESCRIPTION:FOREST EUROPE develops common strategies at the pan-European level for its 46 signatories on how to protect and sustainably manage their forests (www.foresteurope.org). The idea of this High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) 2023 is based on the Bratislava Ministerial Declaration 2021 as well as the Forest Europe Work Programme priorities and follows guidance provided by the General Coordinating Committee (GCC) to react to emerging issues promptly. \nThe current scenario we are facing at the national and international forestry level leads to a critical debate: How can Sustainable Forest Management maintain and enhance resilience in your forest\, considering social\, economic\, and environmental factors?  \nThis event will be hosted by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture in Berlin having a hybrid character. FOREST EUROPE high-level policymakers responsible for forests and forestry and high-level representatives from FOREST EUROPE observer organizations and other interested stakeholders will be invited to this meeting. The interested public can join this event in Berlin or online. \nThe host of this event is the German Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture\, Mr. Cem Özdemir. Our panel discussions in Berlin will bring together ministers and other high-level policymakers with representatives of environmental organizations\, forest practitioners\, researchers\, youth\, and landowners to provide a space promoting shared understanding and synergies in the pan-European region and beyond. \nThe event will have two consecutive panel discussions where participants can interact directly with high-level speakers during the debate. To set the scene\, renowned researchers will present their latest findings. \nCheck our High-Level Talks website to stay updated.

SUMMARY:SILVA Network Annual Conference: Communication – a neglected topic in higher forestry education and further education?
DESCRIPTION:Human life on Earth can only be sustained with the survival and proper functioning of natural systems\, especially forests. However\, large-scale deforestation and forest degradation takes place in many countries in the world. In other parts of the World\, the unstoppable process of urbanization increasingly leads to the physical and mental separation of people from nature. More and more this is resulting in total refusal of active measures in forests aiming at wood production. In political decision-making and economic processes\, you barely find representatives of forest related sciences. While we are exceeding the limits of our planet’s carrying capacity\, awareness of that wicked problem is limited and nature-based solutions are underrepresented in the political discussions on problem solving. What can professionals of higher forestry education and further education do against the unfavourable processes described here? How can the gap be bridged between the knowledge background and perceptions of forest scientists\, political decision makers and lay men? And how can this be used to adapt the contents of teaching and further education in forest and nature related disciplines? \nThese questions will be addressed in the SILVA Network Annual Conference\, held at the University of Sopron on April\, 11 – 13th 2023. The program includes inspiring presentations and a full-day excursion into the educational forests of Sopron University and the nearby national park. \nIt pays to be quick: An early bird rate applies until February 21st. Please also keep an eye at the deadline for abstract submission if you are interested to present. \nPlease go to the SILVA Network website to register.

SUMMARY:FOREST EUROPE High-Level Talks
DESCRIPTION:We are glad to invite you to a High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) titled “Sustainable Forest Management: unlocking forest biodiversity’s potential” on 30 August 2022 (from 1 to 5 pm CEST).\nFOREST EUROPE develops common strategies at the pan-European level for its 46 signatories on how to protect and sustainably manage their forests (www.foresteurope.org).\nThe HLPD 2022 is organised in line with the Bratislava Ministerial Declaration 2021 as well as the Forest Europe Work Programme priorities and follows guidance provided by the General Coordinating Committee (GCC). \nDue to the ongoing pandemic\, the event will be hybrid\, with physical participation in Bonn\, Germany\, for panellists and keynote speakers only. FOREST EUROPE ministers responsible for forests and forestry as well as the observer organizations will be invited to this meeting. The interested public will be able to follow this event online. \nWe will discuss to what extent Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) can maintain and eventually enhance forest biological diversity while ensuring the balance with other forest ecosystem services. \nOur panel discussions in Bonn will bring together ministers and other high-level policy makers with representatives of environmental organizations\, forest managers\, researchers\, youth and landowners to provide a space for knowledge exchange and to promote common understanding and synergies in the pan-European region and beyond. \nThe event will have two consecutive panel discussions where ministers\, their representatives and other participants can interact directly with high-level speakers during the discussion. To set the scene\, renowned researchers will present a science-policy brief. \nCheck our HLPD website to stay updated. We will circulate more information including the registration link\, soon. \nFor any further questions\, you are welcome to send an email to liaisonunitbonn@foresteurope.org . \nWe look forward to meeting you end of August. \nLiaison Unit Bonn & European Forest Institute FE team.

SUMMARY:SILVA Network 2022 Conference: Higher Forestry education in times of multiple crises: crises as framework conditions\, challenges and triggers for improvements
DESCRIPTION:Resilience is the ability to emerge stronger from crisis situations. But how resilient is higher education in forestry? How does teaching and learning about forests address or respond to crises? \nIt could be said that higher education in forestry only really developed as a result of a crisis; in response to the devastation of forests and the great demand for wood for mining and smelting\, Hans Carl von Carlowitz had already described a way out of the crisis in 1713. His idea of sustainable forestry had to be taught in order to become accepted in forestry practice. Since the found150ation of the first forest universities in the 19th century\, forestry education has faced many crises that had left their impact on learning and teaching in forest sciences and related fields of study. Even today we are confronted with multiple crises like climate change\, the Corona pandemic and the war in Ukraine. These crises set new frameworks\, (re)define teaching topics\, and influence society\, forests\, forestry\, and the universities themselves. However\, crises often also open up new perspectives for us\, allow better alternatives to come into focus\, and thus become a window for new opportunities. Crises often are the origin of improved practices and products. \nCrises can occur at various timeframes (short-\, medium-\, long-term) or scale (local\, regional\, global). At the global level\, climate change and the Corona pandemic in particular have influenced forestry teaching for several years. Transnationally\, we are experiencing environmental hazards as well as economic\, demographic and armed crises. Locally\, we are dealing with criticism of forest management and timber production practices. At the micro level\, we are repeatedly facing new problems and challenges in teaching. These crises affect us as individuals and as a society and can require changes in issues\, organization\, infrastructure\, and resources. Are we addressing these adequately? \nDraft Programme\nTuesday: 28th June 2022\, 12:00 – 17:30. Conference opening\, Welcome addresses\, Keynote speeches\, Technical Session \nWednesday: 29th June 2022\, 09:00 – 18:30. Technical Sessions\, General Assembly \nThursday: 30th June 2022\, 08:30 – 18:00. Field visit to the forests of County Wicklow

SUMMARY:Webinar: What’s forest education up to in Africa and Europe?
DESCRIPTION:Are you studying forestry or a forest-related field? Or are you teaching at a university in one of these fields? Great! You might be interested to know that FAO published six regional assessment reports on forest education around the globe in 2021. Those reports reflect on the current status and needs of formal forest education at all levels. Please find the reports on the Global Forest Education Project’s webpage. \nIn the context of FOREST EUROPE’S webinar series “From the roots to the canopy” we cordially invite you to join our online webinar. With this joint action of IFSA\, IUFRO and FOREST EUROPE\, we want to enable a dialogue between Africa and Europe to share key findings of the reports\, and also discuss the results. \nAt first\, the main authors will present the respective regional reports and inform about the current status\, needs and challenges of forest education. Then we jump directly to the discussion: two students and one early career scientist will discuss with the authors about differences in forest education in the two regions\, what Europe can learn from Africa (and vice versa)\, and what needs to be done to enhance forest education. \nThis is followed by a direct interaction with the audience. You will have the chance to ask questions and learn why the reports are relevant for forestry students\, educators and policy makers. We hope to see you there!
