In addition, the conference aims to provide a platform for science-based contributions in interfacing scientific knowledge into policy and management practices. It hence dedicates a prominent session to trans-disciplinary questions at the science-policy interfacing and includes contributions from various disciplines on this issue as well.

By holding the conference in Indonesia the organisers wish to acknowledge the growing international relevance of the country regarding forest policy practice as well as scientific research in related fields. We invite scholars from around the globe to join the event in a thought-provoking, tropical, and hospitable environment.
