In this episode, five graduate students (Foroogh Abasian, Tasseda Boukherroub, Shuva Hari Gautam, Sébastien Vachon-Robichaud and Jean Wery) at Laval University in Canada introduce their ongoing research projects in forest supply chain management. Their innovative research takes interdisciplinary approaches and leverages the FORAC’s well-established collaboration with forest industries. This is the first part of two episodes.
