LIFEGENMON ACTIVITIES

Dissemination (D1 & D2)• Homepage, e-forum, portal, newsletters, Laymen‘s report• Training courses for teaches and students, workshops for

children• Notice boards and visits to the test plots• Open Days for general public• Participation on management/planning meeting of forest

services • Workshops for scientists from forest management and forest

genetics • Leaflets for promotion legislative documents on EU level

EXPECTED IMPACT– methodology of forest genetic monitoring •European wide genetic monitoring will be initiated •Harmonisation of national genetic monitoring initiatives•Long term forest adaptability can be monitored and compared between countries

EXPECTED IMPACT– implementation of forest genetic monitoring•Guidelines and strategies will upgrade other forest monitoring results•Results of genetic monitoring will directly lead to practical forest management actions by a detailed decision support system

OVERALL GOAL: Implementation of a long-term early-warning system for forest genetic resources
