Dear Colleagues,
The IUFRO Units 4.04.04 'Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling' and 4.04.06 'Nature Conservation Planning' are sponsoring a Special Issue on Decision Support for Integrated Policy Analysis to be published in Forest Policy and Economics (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-policy-and-economics <http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability> ).
This Special Issue originates from an initiative of Working Group 2 “Forestry modelling for integrated policy analysis” of COST Action FP1207 “Orchestrating forest-related policy analysis in Europe (ORCHESTRA)". It addresses a topic that is relevant to the five themes of the IUFRO 2015-2019 Strategy and that is transversal to Divisions 3, 4, 6 and 9.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts reporting research of models, methods and/or decision support systems (DSS) that account for forest-related policy analysis at multiple levels and its application in real case studies. As currently, little information is available about decision support tools used for forest policy development, a special focus should be on the information provided by different types of decision support tools at different scales and on the benefits and limitations/challenges of the approaches presented. Particular attention should be paid to forest-related policy fields such as biodiversity, climate change, bioenergy, trade and green economy.
The deadline for manuscript submission: 30 September 2016

Sorry for any crossposting. Please disseminate this information to whomever you think might be interested.
Thank you.

Dear all,
please be informed about the final conference of Cost Action Orchestra
to be held from 5-6 September 2016 in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
CONFERENCE ANOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
“Bioeconomy and ecosystem services, synergy or conflict? Horizontal and
vertical policy analysis, modelling and orchestration in practice”
BACKGROUND: ORCHESTRA aims at supporting the coherence of forest-related
policy targets and efficiency of policy measures. ORCHESTRA has
facilitated multinational, transdisciplinary collaboration between
sociologists, policy scientists, economists and modellers as well as
active interaction with various stakeholders. The new knowledge can be
used by European policy and decision makers to adjust forest-related
policies and their implementation to the requirements of multilevel and
multi-stakeholder governance.
Please find detailed information here:

Dear Colleagues
We have submitted the proposal entitled Ecosystem services and the well-being of forest-dependent communities: enhancing social innovation and building resilience to global changes in remote rural areas. Could I please kindly ask you to slightly amend the title by saying 'marginalised rural areas' instead of 'remote'?
The proposed session, if accepted, will largely be based on the forestry component of our new H2020 project coordinated by me fom the James Hutton Institute. It is on Social Innovation in Marginalised Rural Areas (SIMRA). I am providing the following media link to the piece of info reflecting on it http://www.hutton.ac.uk/news/social-innovation-promote-rural-growth-across-… Thank you for incorporating the amendment into the title of our proposal.
With best wishes, Maria and Mariana
