 Science to Management Forum Research Chat Series (FORREX)
A research chat is a short, virtual dialogue, facilitated by FORREX and the Provincial Extension Program, to help showcase how research has made a difference. The chats are a series of virtual interactive forest science lunchtime chats from November 2009 to March 2010. These virtual dialogues will allow research proponents to briefly describe – in 15-20 minutes – the management problems their project is addressing and any information or lessons learned from their work. They will provide a venue for policy and management practitioners to hear how research results may help answer their questions, all from the comfort of their offices.
