More about the measure

In the BMBF-funding priority entitled “Sustainable Forest Management“ as part of the BMBF Framework Programme “Research for Sustainability“, transdisciplinary research, innovative product and technology developments for sustainable forest management and for sustainable land management, for the improvement of the forestry-timber value added chain as well as for the provision of the future are supported. The measure shall enhance the national and international competitiveness of the forestry-timber sector and makes a contribution to the national sustainability strategy as well as to the Charter for Timber of the Federal Government. Research fields of the funding measure: Forest today and in future: Scenarios and visions. Overall concepts, visions and trends in future forest and timber management? What decisions are required? Sustainable management, use and development of forests and densely wooded landscapes: Improvement of people’s quality of life, provision of natural, social and economic resources and benefits of forests Development of value creation potentials along the forestry-timber chain. How can regional, supra-regional and global forestry-timber value added chains be optimized and further developed in a profit-oriented, ecological and socially fair manner? Within the period from 2004-2010, the BMBF supported 26 collaborative projects with a total funding volume of approx. 30 million euros. The internationalisation of the funding measure was achieved by the participation in three transnational call announcements of the ERA-Nets WoodWisdom-Net (2006, 2009, 2010) on the one hand, and by networking with the DAAD-Special Programme: Research and Study for Sustainability on the other hand, and by the connection with the Scientific-Technical Cooperation between the PR of China and Germany. The funding measure is concluded. Information on the funded projects and their results are available at the central Internet portal of the funding priority.

More about the topic

The aim of Land Use Research is the creation of the required knowledge and decision bases for sustainable land management as well as the provision of action strategies and instruments for a forward-thinking adaptation of regional land use to global change. Thus, knowledge-oriented and implementation-oriented research is being linked. This is a precondition for the better system understanding of the essential processes of global change. With this, it is possible to also identify interactions between ecological, economic and socio-cultural concerns and to mitigate the conflict of goals with regard to the search for future-oriented and reliable system solutions. With Land Management Research, implementation know-how in the sense of integrative acting will be generated. Since in this field of research, scientific-technological points of view are brought together with economic and social-scientific aspects, the basis is laid for a closer linking of technological, non-technological and organisational innovations in future. The feasibility is of central importance for the success of funding; the decision is made on the actors’level (e.g. acceptance issues, institutional framework conditions) and requires transdisciplinarity, as e.g. the inclusion of decision makers and actors in the research process. The funding measure has a modular structure and will be continued through the development of further funding modules.
