The programme is designed for young scientists working in the field of forestry and other related fields of natural resource management. One aspect is to offer participants an opportunity to gain knowledge in economic, ecological and social aspects in connection with the management of forests in Europe with a regional focus in the Black Forest, a mountainous region in the southwest of Germany. Other aspects are the encouragement of research projects in cooperation with German universities and industries as well as the extension of contacts. The Faculty of Forest and Environmental Sciences of the University of Freiburg in co-operation with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) provides scholarships to participate in the programme. The „Forestry, Markets and Society” Summer School is part of the programme „Integrated Environmental Engineering“, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
