New structure of the institute

The Institute of Forest Ecosystems has a new structure since 01.02.2018. In this way, we want to optimize the coordination of tasks and personnel management in our enlarged institute. By transferring management tasks from the head of the institute to the newly created second management level we want to improve work organization and management.
