This area facilitates dialogue with universities, government agencies, NGOs, multilateral organizations and the private sector, promoting cooperation agreements, participation in multilateral spaces and synergies that strengthen the capacities of the forestry sector.

Technical Area

Composed of professionals and academics from the forestry sector, this area leads the design and implementation of training projects, collaborative research, diagnostics and proposals for curriculum improvement. It also works in the generation of innovative tools and methodologies that contribute to a more relevant and updated training, oriented to the socio-environmental challenges of the 21st century.
