Afternoon parallel session of the Forest Mensuration Club
Location will be added after the registration time is over
Finnish forest expertise is highly valued worldwide. Finland has particularly strong competence in forest inventory and forest planning. Over recent decades, Finnish forest mensuration specialists have participated in numerous research and development projects around the globe. Today, international collaboration has become a natural part of everyday work. Many of us are involved in international projects, use English as our working language, and Finnish organizations also employ a significant number of non-Finnish professionals.
