15 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - An introduction to Urban Forest Strategic Planning
Planning of urban forests should primarily focus on an ecosystem-based and human well-being approach. In this regard, an urban forest strategic plan for urban forests (whether new or pre-exiting) is a key element for managing trees in urban environments and thereby realizing the potential of trees as a sustainable nature-based solution. What elements should the strategic plan include? What methodology should be followed to develop the strategic plan? Who should participate in its creation?

17 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - Urban Forest Governance: Achieving Effective and Collaborative Management
Urban Forest Governance (UFG) refers to the management and development of trees and forests in urban areas. In many cases, effective governance of Urban Forests as Nature Based Solutions (UF-NBS) requires collaboration and coordination among various stakeholders, including governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, community groups, and individuals. What are the key aspects of urban forest governance and management? What roles should each of the involved actors undertake? What methodologies can be employed to facilitate collaboration among the different stakeholders?

22 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - Empower your Local Communities: Participatory Urban Forest Design and Management
Participatory approaches play a crucial role in designing neighborhoods, as they offer undeniable advantages compared to conventional processes managed solely by professionals or public stakeholders. Learn how urban and peri-urban UF-NBS projects can best involve the public/civil society from the outset to mitigate conflict and simultaneously legitimize the process. How can the public be engaged? How can effective participation be fostered? What challenges can the participation process
generate and how should they be addressed?

22 November 2023 - 9:00 - 11:30 - Protection and Restoration: How to Maintain and Improve your Urban Forest (in collaboration with the SUPERB Forest Restoration project)
Urban forests stand out as key solutions to climate change as long as they cater to the needs of diverse groups, but they require protection and restoration to fulfil their role in green infrastructure. How should the restoration of green-blue infrastructure be carried out? What are the main challenges facing this restoration and how could they be overcome? Why is it important to ensure the multifunctionality of green spaces in urban environments?

[Ein Bild, das draußen, Himmel, Baum, Anwesen enthält. Automatisch generierte Beschreibung]The Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology at the University of Göttingen is seeking to fill a permanent professorship with civil servant status (grade W3 NBesO) at the earliest possible date:
W3 Professorship in Forest policy and land-use governance (f/m/d)
The professorship represents the field of forest policy in its entire breadth with a strong focus on land-use governance in research and teaching. Research should focus on the analysis of international and national forest and land use policies, their processes and strategies, and their mutual interdependencies. Ideally, the professorship thus contributes to the development of political solution strategies for the protection of forests and sustainable land use. The professorship is expected to establish close collaborations with other departments of the faculty and the university and to actively participate in existing research projects and the establishment of new ones. The professorship shall substantially strengthen the faculty foci on "Sustainable Forestry and Global Change" and "Utilization of Forests and Forest Products". Methodologically, the focus should be on empirical social science approaches. We are looking for a team player and dedicated person with demonstrated expertise in policy field analysis of international and national forestry, analysis of international land use-related governance systems and processes, trans-sectoral forest-related policy analysis of nature conservation, climate change mitigation, or regional development, and analysis of forest-related development cooperation.
The position entails the following teaching responsibilities: Subject-specific contributions in the bachelor and master programs of the faculty, especially in the master specializations "Forest Conservation", "Tropical and International Forestry" and "Forest Operation and Utilization". Due to the international profile of the professorship and the students, some of the courses are to be held in English and German. It is expected that the professorship will actively participate in the further internationalization of the courses offered. The university emphasizes research-oriented teaching.
Closing date: 26 October 2023
