Climate change impacts on forest ecosystems

24 – 28 August 2015
Fafleralp, Lötschental (Valais) Switzerland ___________________________

Real world solutions in climate change adaptation and mitigation often ask for interdisciplinary approaches. The NFZ – Summer School FORESCALE addresses challenges at the interface between different forest research disciplines at varying spatial scales.

NFZ.forestnet is a European research and higher education network which gathers French, German and Swiss institutions working on forestry, forest ecosystem and forest-related products. It aims at creating and developing collaborative research and education projects.

The goal of the NFZ Summer School 2015 is to identify research gaps at the interface between research disciplines at varying spatial levels in the context of climate change impacts on forest ecosystems. Experienced researchers in forest science will explore the possibilities and limits of disciplinary and interdisciplinary concepts in their field and will discuss possible approaches to overcoming barriers in implementing scientific know-how in forest management and policy.

This Summer School program is open to all PhD students and young scientists in forest research — The deadline for applications is 1 May 2015
