ForEAdapt project aims to strengthen research collaboration through active networking, staff exchange and dissemination activities between four European organisations from Portugal, Finland, Spain and Sweden, and five American organisations from Chile, Brazil and USA, countries with which the European Community has an S&T agreement. The nine organisations represent different disciplines (from environmental science, forest inventory and modelling, management, socio-economic analysis operations research to software engineering). The expertises of the different partners involved in this proposal are key to achieving the objectives of the “Knowledge exchange between Europe and America on forest growth models and optimisation for adaptive forestry” - ForEAdapt programme.
The ForEAdapt project is based on a four-year joint programme of exchange of more than 40 researchers for periods ranging from 1 to 12 months, thus providing exceptional opportunities for collaboration among individual researchers and support for the research organisations to reinforce their long-term research co-operation within a coherent framework. The proposal will reinforce bilateral cooperation between individual countries and partners that has already occurred in the past decades, and will provide an unique opportunity for the exchange of researchers and scientific knowledge related to forest modelling, mathematical optimisation and decision support systems among the eight countries
The Project has three work packages:
