The Application Process
Senast ändrad: 12 november 2019
Global challenges in the boundary layer between academia and policy implementation – that is what the IUFRO World Congress is all about! The Vice Chancellor of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences has decided that SLU should coordinate the Swedish bid for the IUFRO WC 2024.
Nordic and Baltic countries collaborate
An extensive application process takes place every 5th year.
A strong dialogue takes place with scientists and stakeholders along the process. A national working group for IUFRO supports the work.
We are inviting stakeholders from the Nordic and Baltic neighbouring countries to participate during the application process.
An entertaining program
The congress includes one week with knowledge exchange, networking and excursions in Sweden.
Post excursions to our Nordic and Baltic neighbouring countries will make an important contribution to the congress program.
Experienced and dedicated excursion organizers are willing to open a dialogue about global trends and experiences from the Nordic forestry model.
All together this includes a variety of landscapes, forest management systems, industries and stakeholders.
Governmental support
The budget is strongly supported by the Government and the Swedish bid secure that the developing countries has a strong representation during the Congress.
The government support shows the need for a higher international Swedish profile - In accordance with the national forest program!
Experiences from our previous application should this time give us an absolute top ranking according to the IUFRO's criteria - and Sweden expect that this will be guiding the final decision!

The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) are highly ranked among Life science universities.
The academic production is significant with ca 1200 scientific publications/year and 100 PhD exams/year.
