What is the future of forest planning and inventory? UNITE researchers from Natural Research Institute Finland (Luke) and University of Eastern Finland (UEF) are organising an open seminar on 5 June at the Joensuu campus. Topics will include novelties in forest inventory and planning as well as innovations for future forestry. Welcome to follow UNITE researchers to the frontiers of forest science!
Date: 5th June at 9am till 16.15pm
Place: University of Eastern Finland, Borealis building, Auditorium BOR100, Yliopistokatu 7, Joensuu, see map.
Fee: The seminar is free of charge. For coffee, please register latest 1.6. via this link.
