Location of the Centre
Click to enlarge picture
The ”PROFOREST” Centre of Excellence located at the Forest Research Institute in Warsaw
- and thereby in the middle of Europe’s forests and of many pure and applied research
problems of interest to the forest sciences - would facilitate contacts between
scientists in the East and West, North and South of the continent. It would be possible
to bring forest knowledge together here, to exchange details of methodologies and
research techniques, to offer contacts between young researchers and students and to
play host to meetings, workshops and seminars in regard to matters of the protection of
forests and their resources. It would also permit a building of co-operation between
scientists and practitioners of interdisciplinary research from EU, Poland, the NAS and
other European countries. The activity here is already developing current
achievements in the area of forestry and general ecology, increasing knowledge,
teaching young researchers, expanding post-doctoral studies, developing new ideas and
hypotheses and promoting new trends. We are also developing basic research in forestry,
disseminating knowledge, extending further the co-operation among all the
countries of Europe and promoting the holism of scientific progress.
