|
| Peer review to international standards | ||
| Papers targeted at practically supporting land managers, tree managers and insurers in decision making | ||
| R&D investment targeted at improving sustainability of resources and of improving our towns and cities as places to live | ||
We are investors in people and in systems and procedures and we share our results openly.
Our work is directed by an R&D board of our main Group which considers proposals for research and monitors the outputs.
The R&D Board is supported by national and internationally recognized experts who peer review research requests.
