What is IUFRO? |
 |
The IUFRO, the International Union of Forest Research Organisations, is one of the oldest scientific organisations in the world. Traditionally Finns have played an active role in the IUFRO. Currently Tuija Sievänen represents Finland on the IUFRO board and acts as a coordinator of division 6, ‘Social Aspects of Forests and Forestry’. The scientific divisions and their units form a permanent structure within the IUFRO organisation. Several Finnish forest researchers currently serve as chairs and deputy chairs of the various units. In addition to these, the IUFRO carries several special programmes, such as the GFIS (Global Forest Information System).
