Research project group: Developing Forest Sector in Russia and Central and East European Countries - Impacts in Finland

Objectives

The project develops and updates Information Service for Russian Forestry (www.idanmetsatieto.info) and Central and Eastern European (CEE) Forestry Information Service (www.metla.fi/metinfo/kie). The information service for Russian Forestry will be updated weekly with news about Russian forestry, news being to a large extent based on Russian sources. New information will be produced as a result of continuous follow up and analysis of the development in Russian forest sector and forest research. In Russian side, knowledge about Finnish forest sector will be increased through a parallel Internet service www.lesinfo.fi, published in Russian language

The CEE-service will be expanded to cover nine countries in Central and Eastern Europe (Belorussia, Czech, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine). Basic information about forestry, expert analyses and articles about the state of forest sector, as well as topical information about the extensive changes in forestry and forest policy of the countries in question will be produced. The services are also important means for disseminating results of other Russian and Central and Eastern European forestry related research and development projects.
