I hope you’ve all had a good start to the year. Forestry issues, in a broad sense, are a hot topic right now and will continue to be so for all of 2022. It’s an election year, and I’m already seeing signs of forestry being high up on the agenda. There is currently a huge interest in what we do at SLU and our faculty, and we need to make sure that we cater to this curiosity and offer them something! Take advantage of this interest and give people solid information on how we can best research, teach and monitor the conditions of our forests.
Welcome to take part in this spring's lectures in the series Worth knowing. Due to the prevailing pandemic, the opportunity to participate physically is severely limited, but hopefully it will change soon.
Silva is a Faculty of Forest Sciences funded umbrella
research school arranging high quality thematic, international,
interdisciplinary and intersectoral PhD courses and seminars/workshops for PhD
students registered at all the departments of the Faculty.
Silva offers access to formal and informal, national and international networks and encourages an increased interaction between departments to help doctoral students to develop depth and width in their research.
The international application round has ended. A quick review shows
positive results. The Bachelor program Forest and Landscape has increased sharply, from 55
first-time applications in 2021 to 110 applications this year.
The master's programs are also increasing. Last year's figures in
