The people behind the research

Insights from our current PhD students about benefits of being enrolled with Trees For Me.

"Solid scientific insights and practical guidance" - Ola Dosumu

“Having this network of young researchers from diverse backgrounds, working on different aspects of the same goal, is beneficial. Together, we will be able to provide solid scientific insights and practical guidance to support the use of fast-growing broadleaves in Swedish forestry.”

"Input to spark new ideas" - Erik Tingrot

“The interaction between different sectors helps finding practical solutions and creates opportunities for learning across disciplines. By visiting different sites together, new questions appear. Some of which can be answered on site, while other provide input to spark new ideas.”
