<< Background >>Forest operations have the tendency to replace local specialties by standard operations without regarding local differentiations in environment, climate, and societal needs. The consequence is increasing damage to stands and soils and declining knowledge about traditional solutions that have been developed over a long period of experience. The project demands to accept the differentiation of local conditions and to keep the sensitivity for technological diversity. To reach this, knowledge all over Europa must become available for forest owners, contractors, scientists, and students.<< Objectives >>The project addresses the technological diversity building a common basis of technological knowledge and increasing the sensitivity for diversity in this field. It aims to bring together and make generally available the existing knowledge in forest operations that is scattered across Europe. It will function as a bridge between different regions of Europe as well as between generations. To reach this an e-learning course will be installed to support mobility for students on master’s level which can be implemented into forestry curricula.<< Implementation >>Four working groups are preparing the project results:A knowledge basis on „facts and methods“ is collected with information on processes for forest harvesting. A comprehensive set of sub-processes is described and assessed under ecological, ecomona. And societal criteria. Tutorials about the research methods will be added.For each sub-process a scientific audiovisual will be produced that explains the process, productivity and costs and the impacts to environment and society.A flexible knowledge platform is developed that allows an easy access to the former results and will be open for continous change and development.An e-learning course will be developed to set up a common learning standard on master’s degree for European universtities and to improve the mobility of forst students.One learning, teaching and transfer activity LTT is aimed at doctoral students to familiarize them with the idea of diversity in the field of forest operations. It will improve the quality of the knowledge base, which will go online without barriers after the project. Two more LTTs are offered to students, one in the Mediterranean area and the other in the high mountains. There the structures of the e-learning course are tested and improved by the students. This course will be available without barriers after end of the project.Deans of forest faculties are invited to sign a letter of intend to accept the e-learning course as a common module on master’s level in universal education. To reach forest professionals, a workshop will take place next to the international fair Euroforest 2023 conference in France. Finally the project will be discussed and established in the scientific environment at FORMEC 2023.<< Results >>A glossary with facts and methods will be the knowledge base, where the most typical technological sub-processes for wood harvesting are presented and assessed. Tutorials explain how to structure and express processes, to assess them under ecological, economic, and societal criteria and to find a final decision.For each subprocess a scientific audiovisual shows the tool or machine, its use and the effects on environment, workers, productivity, and costs.A platform organizes the coordination of this complex information. In an intuitive, modular way the user can find sub-processes, which fit on local conditions, and combines them to a floating working process. He gets information to assess the process and to find an optimal solutions for his individual needs and objectives.With the help of teaching modules, this content is made available to the students as e-learning course with exercise and examination units. It is aimed that the course will be recognized at all forest faculties in Europe and can be integrated with 10 ECTS in the forest master curriculum. In addition, it can also be used as a further training unit for practitioners.
