WP6 Exploitation, dissemination and communication

This task will allow the forest operators to acquire the necessary skills to deploy the new digital tools in their every-day work. For the purpose, a training format will be developed by professional trainers of EFESC schools (FMMF, CTFC). This format will focus mainly on manual operators, typically unused to digital tools. As a first step, the trainers will be instructed to the use of the new tools by the technology developers (ARBO, TREE, CNR). Based on this experience, they will design a training format compatible as add-on to the common EFESC courses (EU chainsaw certificate, https:// efesc.org). Additionally, this task will provide guidelines, manuals and videos to integrate the formal training. It will include the technology innovations to the mechanized system (harvester based), considering that the machine operators already have at least basic digital skills. Instructions and manuals will be provided also for the industrial system (sawmill).
