To honour and celebrate this occasion, the First International Faustmann Symposium was held on October 1999 at the Hunting Castle of Kranichstein at Darmstadt, Germany. October was chosen because it was October, 1849, when Martin Faustmann wrote the paper, and Darmstadt was chosen because it was the place where the paper was written.
The First International Faustmann Symposium was a cornerstone in the Faustmann revival. It did not only outstandingly boost the economic research of forestry, in addition, it oriented forest economics to a mathematical style of analysis.
After the First International Faustmann Symposium, further symposia followed. The Second International Faustmann Symposium was held in Baton Rogue, Louisiana, USA in 2005; the third in Darmstadt, Germany, again in 2009; the fourth in Saariseklä, Lapland, Finland in 2012; the fifth in Beijing, China in 2016; and the sixth in Darmstadt, Germany in 2019. The upcoming Seventh International Faustmann Symposium will be held in Christchurch, New Zealand. We would like to invite all interested parties to attend the Symposium.
The Preliminary Programme is now available to download - a final programme will be released nearer to the Symposium.
