The Brasil Norte-Sul expedition project 2016 (BNS16) currently prepares B.Sc./M.Sc. students from six European universities (Freiburg, Eberswalde, Krakow, Dresden, Hamburg, Vienna) for their upcoming trip to the South American forestry and wood sector.
Political entities (National Forestry authorities, Brasília) as well as the leading academic institutions (UFPR, UFRRJ, UFSC, UnB, UNAMAD) are opening their doors to discuss the challenges of forestry and forest product utilization in the context of global change in the Amazon and adjacent biomes.
The concept and programme is to be found here: http://www.bamboo.gs/brasil-norte-sul-2016
