Operating Systems for Centre of Advanced Research (2011-2015)

Coordinator: Dr. Magnus Thor, Skogforsk, Sweden, magnus.thor@skogforsk.se

Financing: 400.000 DKK/year for 5 years

The achievements from OSCAR’s first five-year-period were presented in News & Views No. 6, 2010. Its networking activities will continue with a similar organisational structure, the main purpose being to maintain the technological leadership of the Nordic countries. Research on competitive and environmentally sound raw-material supply is of central importance to meet fierce competition from other regions. Preliminary project areas for this CAR are: energy efficiency in forest operations; reduced impact on soil and water; extracting forest bioenergy; training machine operators; mechanised and improved silvicultural operations; and forestry business engineering (to purchase and sell services in forestry).
