Important future issues for the faculty and how I can contribute

My perspective can primarily contribute to the important questions regarding how the faculty:

• acts and positions itself as a sector university
• organizes research, environmental monitoring and assessment, and education in silviculture and alternatives to clear-cutting
• coordinates (field) research infrastructure initiatives
• collaborates internally at SLU across geographical and institutional boundaries

Personal reflections

It feels important and rewarding to contribute to a transparent, constructive, and equitable discussion about the faculty's activities. In my role, I primarily work to enable others' research and teaching, and I want to think in terms of shared resources for common goals.
