The [http://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/67094.html Chair of Forest Inventory and Remote Sensing] at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen is this year hosting the 3rd international students and alumni workshop on "Forests in Climate Change Research and Policy: The Role of Forest Management and Conservation in a complex International Setting" that is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service [http://daad.de DAAD]. Our workshop traditionally takes place along the [http://www.forestsclimatechange.org/events/forest-day/forest-day-5.html Forest Day] that is organized as side event to the conference of the parties by CIFOR on behalf of the collaborative partnership on forests. For more information on the background see the last years [[DAAD FD5 Workshop|workshops in Cancun and Durban]].

Here you can find a poster summarizing our last year activities along Forest Day 5 in Durban: [[file:DAAD_FD5_Poster.pdf]]. Our Workshop Proceedings were published with ISBN number: [http://www.cuvillier.de/flycms/en/html/30/-UickI3zKPS3zfk8=/Buchdetails.html?SID=VrESnZ44150a Link]
__TOC__
==Guest lectures==
The program for our workshop is divided in two parts. Before we meet on our workshop in Durban and Doha there will be an introductory seminar with guest lectures held at the University of Göttingen. These presentations will give an  introduction to the climate change- policy process and the role of  forests in this context. The lectures are open to all interested. For  those students who are not in Göttingen and for the international alumni  participating in our workshop, a comprehensive abstract will be  prepared. We are happy about high level speakers.
