Peter Eliasson (Doctoral theses at SLU, 2007). Professional administrative assignments I was manager for Fiberskog programme during 1998-2006, which involved ca 20 scientists and PhD-students. Being a manager for a theme programme meant a large amount of administration like writing applications; arrange meetings and large excursions, distribution of information to stakeholders, researchers and the society etc., writing reports and budgets, responsible for the economy. I m also involved in the Future Forest programme at SLU and been a theme leader for a project dealing with strategies how forestry and use of wood products to mitigate climate change. In Future Forest I take part in several different production related sub-projects within the programme. I m responsible for a large number of experiments (26) and different studies conducted at the experiment. In all these project involves economical responsibility.
