Scope

The aim of the symposium is to foster the exchange of ideas between scientists from different disciplines of forest sciences, to present the latest advances, and to stimulate future research on forestry and related fields. To accomplish this aim, the plenary talks and the thematic sessions will cover a wide range of topics. We are expecting a stimulating programme with many interesting scientific presentations supplemented by a field trip in one of the most beautiful regions of Romania.
