Abstract

The original proposal that IIASA should undertake a study in the Forest Industries was first proposed by Finnish representatives in 1978 and it was incorporated into the Research Plan for the Institute for 1979. Preparatory work was carried out during 1979 and on 8-11 January, 1980 an inaugural Workshop on these topics was held at IIASA with 40 participants from 12 countries. The countries represented in the meeting contribute about 70% of the world's total trade of Forestry products. This really was an indication of the interest in the proposed study .

This publication includes most of the material presented at this Workshop. One paper (by L. Hultkranz) was not actually presented but the text was distributed to the participants. The Appendix includes a short summary of the Workshop with the agenda, list of participants and some background material for IIASA's Forest Industry project.

The workshop supported the proposed project giving useful feedback for the continued planning and work of the project. It was also decided to publish the material of the workshop as an IIASA Collaborative Paper so as to document the work of this international meeting.
