On Forest Operations Engineering and Management

Read an interview with Division 3 Coordinator Woodam Chung of Oregon State University, USA, about the work in IUFRO Division 3 and the All-Division Meeting at the IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress.


While Division 3 - Forest Operations Engineering and Management - does promote interdisciplinary research within and beyond the field of forest sciences – we learn from other disciplines, and create synergy and innovations by bringing new perspectives and new solution approaches into our discipline.

Thinking outside-the-box and bringing new innovations are necessary to revive our research and profession.  We are facing great challenges, but we believe these challenges offer great opportunities.

The Freiburg Congress provided us with a glimpse of the future — new technologies, new innovations that are on the horizon. This forum has given us an opportunity to see the future of forest engineering.
