Forest resources can contribute more effectively to sustainable development if the entire resource chain is integrated, encompassing the sectors of forestry, manufacturing, construction, energy, and waste management. Hence, we will integrate the results from the different projects in the project cluster “Forest as a resource in sustainable societal development“ to better understand the full potential of the resources. We will also interact with actors in the entire forest products chain, from forest owners to end users of wood products, to understand their needs and constraints and to spread knowledge about our results. This will be done, for example, by study visits, seminars, web sites and by creating networks. Representatives from key actors within the region will constitute a reference group for this part of the project. Popular scientific articles will be produced to spread the research results to the public.
