About the Conference session organizer

Institute of Lowland Forestry and Environment (ILFE) was founded in 1958 under the name of the Poplar Research Institute by the Parliament of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Soon after, the Institute has been renamed the Institute for Poplars and Non-forest Greenery and finally, in October 2006, the Institute has changed its name to the Institute of Lowland Forestry and Environment (ILFE). ILFE research and developmentactivities are directed towards both basic and applied research that meets demands of the research users, such as public enterprises, private forest landowners, urban residents and policy-makers. ILFE has realized numerous projects related to the improvement of major tree species (poplars, willows, black locust, common oak, european beech, norway spruce, wild cherry, etc.) in Serbia and other former Yugoslavian Republics, projects of the establishment of protective greenery, forest management plans, rehabilitation of degraded lands. Moreover, numerous international projects have successfully been realized with various partners from both Europe and USA.
