Extension Working Party

Since 1994, the Extension Working Party has held nine international symposia which have served to promote the concept of extension through the transfer of knowledge and technology to improve the lives of people and forests around the globe. Members share best practices and research for effective extension programs that transfer knowledge and technology to benefit forest communities and influence forest policy and practices.


 Technology Transfer Working Party

The mission of the Technology Transfer Working Party is to coordinate the interests of IUFRO member organizations related to the application of forestry research findings.  The working party serves as a focus for learning about technology transfer and sharing successful approaches. Members work to develop methods and techniques to generally improve technology transfer including planning for it as part of the research process, inclusion of user groups and stakeholders, and evaluation of successful transfer.
