Welcome to the international meeting of Erasmus Forestry
Network in Madrid.
It is a unique meeting of Erasmus universities
concerning mainly to forestry and related fields.
It's high time we got out of this pandemic situation.
It is necessary for our students to go abroad to visit countries,
learn the languages, see the techniques that are applied in different countries
and come back to their own country and develop these techniques.
I think
we are facing an amazing and challenging moment to be a forester,
but these challenges for our society will help cooperation between countries
and also an understanding of what is going on, where is going on.
That's quiet mobility and Erasmus plus projects
I think are key for helping
our students to gain international, skills and concepts,
and also to help researchers and society to be prepared for these changes
that we are going to suffer both for land-use change and also for climate change.
We are discussing, topics, concerning
mainly to international mobilities, mainly
in the scientific cooperation.
So you are welcome to join us.
