Published: 29 September 2017

The Research School BECFOR ”Bioeconomy-adapted forest management” have released the first Activity report for the period: Jan 2016 June 2017.

Year 2016 was dedicated to preparations (networking, proposals and planning), with a main goal of securing the financing for the school and new PhD projects, and for anchoring the initiative among stakeholders and faculty members. The work has continued during 2017, now with more precise work towards complete curriculum, organization, new PhD projects and other activities. Approximately 10 PhD students have so far expressed their interest to affiliate to the research school, representing SLU (two faculties), Linneaus university, and Copenhagen University. Importantly, BECFOR has connected with the large research program in southern Sweden (FRAS). Interaction with Finnish research schools has been developed under endorsement of the Dean and is continuously reported to representatives of the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovations.
