Webinar/PhD Defence: Balancing wood flow and forest machine usage

by Ola Lindroos

Dear Division 3, Most of us do not have the possibility to attend PhD dissertations in other countries, but here is a possibility. So take the chance to listen in on presentations and academic discussions on an interesting topic! You are all invited to virtually attend the PhD dissertation of Malin Johansson. The title of the thesis is Balancing the flow of wood and use of machinery in harvesting operations: new perspectives on how to improve performance in the wood supply chain<https://res.slu.se/id/publ/121520>. The dissertation is held on April 28th at 1:00 PM Central European Summer Time (GMT+2). For those not familiar with Swedish PhD dissertations, the first hour will be presentations of the thesis, first by the respondent and then by the opponent. Then there will be a short break, and after that follows about 1-2 hours of discussion between the respondent and first the opponent and then the evaluation committee. When attending the webinar, you can only see and listen - and can naturally join and leave as you please, without disturbing the dissertation. Very welcome, and please pass this invitation on to those you think have interest in it! // Ola Lindroos Join Zoom Webinar: Please click this URL to join. https://slu-se.zoom.us/j/63928562308 Passcode: 555999 _____________________________________________________ Malin's academic supervisor group consists of Prof. Ola Lindroos, Dr Emanuel Erlandsson and Dr Thomas Kronholm, Dept. of Forest Biomaterials and Technology, SLU, Umeå, Sweden.

Save the date - 4 April - Launch Event for Issue Brief 'Forests, Energy and Livelihoods'

by Brigitte Burger

[cid:image002.png@01D9660A.A5AC0300] [cid:image003.png@01D9660A.A5AC0300] Calling all those involved in forests, energy and livelihoods! A new multi-agency issue brief highlights the links between these sectors and the leap forward that could come from them working more closely together. Do you work in forests, energy or livelihoods? Are you searching for ways to boost progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals? If so, take a moment to look at this new FAO/IUFRO/UNDP/UNFF issue brief, Forests, Energy and Livelihoods<https://www.un.org/esa/forests/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ISSUE-BRIEF-Fores…>, which neatly sums up the current state of play in these sectors and why they are inextricably linked. It explains why managing forests more sustainably brings huge benefits to all those who depend on wood for fuel or forest products for a livelihood. And calls for more joined up thinking across these sectors to accelerate progress towards SDGs on poverty, hunger and clean energy. Now is the time to put heads together on this! Join the global event on April 4 (10.00-13.00 EDT) on UN Web TV<https://media.un.org/en/webtv> and follow the discussion about integrated approaches across these sectors ahead of the 2023 SDG Summit at the UN General Assembly high-level week in September. Make sure you are part of this. Read the issue brief<https://www.un.org/esa/forests/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ISSUE-BRIEF-Fores…> and join the event<https://www.un.org/esa/forests/events/unff18-bureau-event-forests-energy-li…>. See you there!
