The Chair of Forest Inventory and Remote Sensing, Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology at University of Göttingen together with the Instituto Bosques y Sociedad, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales at Universidad Austral de Chile, Valdivia (UACh) is this year hosting the 6th International DAAD Alumni and Student Workshop on “The science policy gap regarding informed decisions in forest policy and forest management: what scientific information are policy makers really interested in?” that will take place in Santiago de Chile (12. to 20. November 2016).

Contents

[edit] Background

This DAAD funded workshop will take place along the ForestSat congress in Santiago de Chile. ForestSAT 2016 is the seventh edition of this international scientific conference, which aims to disseminate the latest knowledge gained from research in the field of remote sensing and geomatics in forestry applications. We organized this student and alumni workshop together with our partners from the Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales at Universidad Austral de Chile, Valdivia (UACh). Thanks to the funding of DAAD, we are now looking back to a series of very successful student and alumni workshops that bring together DAAD funded international students from our international Master program (TIF) and professionals and alumni from all over the world. For more background information on prior workshops in this series we refer to the category DAAD workshops.

[edit] Guest lectures

Prof. Dr. Christoph Kleinn
Thomas Enters, UNEP, Bangkok
Dr. David Morales, FAO, Rome
Ragna John, GIZ

The program for our workshop is divided in two parts. Before we meet on our workshop in Chile there will be an introductory seminar with guest lectures held at the University of Göttingen. These presentations gave an introduction to the role of International Forestry Policies and the role of National Forest Data and Information.
