8. In-service training Bridging and two-way communication between University and Best practices Specific targeted courses with duration 1-5 days Examples of topics: • Organization and management strategies for enterprises in the Forest and Road Operation Chain • Operational planning and control systems for the Forest Operation Chain at enterprise level • Operational planning and control systems for the Forest Operation Chain at district and regional levels • Systems Analysis to design systems for logging, silviculture and wood supply

9. In-service training: An important part to develop staff of different categories. One main subject can be built up by modules there each modules can be used as an in-service training course

10. In-service training: An important activity to develop staff of different categories. One main subject can be built up by modules there each modules can be used as an in-service training course Main subject Example of topics Road Survey Module Module Module Module Module Environment Soil Drainage Survey Cost calculation Soil mechanics Ditches Culverts Field recognition Drawings Soil Soil Erosion To calculate from drawings Bridges Alignment Need of different layers due to Road classes Biodiversity Curves Other kind of water protection Secure the line Passing and turning places

11. Use of technical and economic calculation tools to optimize Forest road density and standard • Calculations of productivity and operating cost for logging, silviculture and logistic systems and resources • Technical measurement and control methods of road bearing capacity • Forest and Road data bases combined with digital chains from Forest road, tract and road-side landing to industry wood-yard using GIS and GPS technology • Advanced forest inventory technologies and methods connected to the digital chain
