We are interested in joining a consortium addressing Topic 4 and contributing complementary expertise from Savonia University of Applied Sciences’ Sustainable Societies research field. Our cooperation interests include co-creation and stakeholder engagement, social acceptance and behavioural aspects (SSH), sustainable transition pathways, business modelling, and impact pathways. We are particularly interested in working with partners where these competencies can complement forestry, value chain, market, governance and technology expertise.
