8 In-service training Bridging and two-way communication between University and Best practices Specific targeted courses with duration 1-5 days Examples of topics: Organization and management strategies for enterprises in the Forest and Road Operation Chain Operational planning and control systems for the Forest Operation Chain at enterprise level Operational planning and control systems for the Forest Operation Chain at district and regional levels Systems Analysis to design systems for logging, silviculture and wood supply

9 In-service training: An important part to develop staff of different categories. One main subject can be built up by modules there each modules can be used as an in- service training course

10 EnvironmentSoilDrainageCost calculationSurvey Drawings To calculate from drawings Soil mechanics Need of different layers due to Road classes Ditches Culverts Bridges Other kind of water protection Field recognition Alignment Curves Secure the line Passing and turning places Road Survey In-service training: An important activity to develop staff of different categories. One main subject can be built up by modules there each modules can be used as an in-service training course Example of topics Soil Soil Erosion Biodiversity Main subject Module

11 Use of technical and economic calculation tools to optimize Forest road density and standard Calculations of productivity and operating cost for logging, silviculture and logistic systems and resources Technical measurement and control methods of road bearing capacity Forest and Road data bases combined with digital chains from Forest road, tract and road-side landing to industry wood-yard using GIS and GPS technology Advanced forest inventory technologies and methods connected to the digital chain
