Dear colleagues,

You are warmly invited to join an upcoming webinar featuring researchers from Austria, Finland, Italy, Guatemala, the United States, and Chile. This international session will explore the expanding role of simulation in next-generation forest operations and logistics.

The webinar will highlight how advanced approaches, such as discrete event simulation, agent-based modeling, and hybrid methods, are supporting smarter decision-making in forest engineering. Speakers will discuss what makes simulation in forestry unique, present real-world applications, and share emerging innovations that enhance planning and management across operational, tactical, and strategic levels. The session will also examine how simulation is evolving beyond traditional wood procurement to support the integrated management under different objectives.

Whether you are involved in research, professional practice, education, or supply chain management, we would be delighted to have you join us.

When: May 14, 8am Corvallis, Oregon; 9 am Wyoming, Guatemala, 10 am Bogotá, Lima, 11am Washington DC,  Santiago, 5pm Vienna, Helsinki, Florence
