Forest Resilience: Science and Practice #2
“Forest Resilience: Science & Practice – 2nd Edition” builds on the success of the first edition by further strengthening the exchange between forest science, practice, and society through inclusive and experience-based science communication.
The project aims to make research on forest resilience accessible beyond academic settings, and to provide inspiration for future careers in forest- and environmental-related fields, while increasing the visibility and societal relevance of forest research.

Join us for an inspiring evening exploring forest resilience and ecology through the experiences of two recipients of the Innovation Poll “Short-Term Scientific Missions ” grant. Through short presentations under the night sky , they will share insights from their research stays abroad, the opportunities and challenges they encountered, and how the grant supported their academic and professional development.
The talks will be followed by a fun and interactive forest-themed quiz, as well as an informal networking session with food, drinks, and plenty of time for conversation.
This event is especially aimed at students and early-career researchers interested in international research opportunities and grant applications, but everyone with an interest in forests and ecology is warmly welcome.
The language of the talks will be in English.
