The Forest Engineering Network
The Symposium “Forestry Mechanization" (from 1994 named with the acronym “FORMEC”) was held for the first time in 1966 at Zvolen in former Czechoslovakia. The original idea of the organizers of this scientific meeting was to give an opportunity for scientists from Eastern and Central European countries to gather, discuss about forest engineering matters, deepen the knowledge in that field of science and overcome gaps due to different technology levels.
The main goals of FORMEC are:
- Combining experience from worldwide scientists, researchers and practitioners in forest operations and planning on close-to-nature principles.
- Encourage cooperation, gather knowledge and improve exchange of information in forestry profession and science.
