WOODTECH CAMPUS operates the Forestry and Wildlife Management PhD Research Group in cooperation with the University of Sopron. The research group embraces forestry and hunting-themed doctoral theses specifically dealing with management. The head of the research group is Dr. Sándor Horváth, assistant professor, CEO.

Our active (part-time) doctoral students in the research group:

We can accept new doctoral research in the following topics (themes), but we can also support individual topic ideas.

Labor analysis and evaluation of wildlife management

Economic analysis of the landscape unit wildlife management system 

Examination of the utilization of forest areas for the purpose of wildlife management in the safety zone of electrical networks

Continuous examination of the price policy of wildlife management farmers

Improvement of degraded soils with forestry interventions

We are looking for partners for the ERASMUS project, in the framework of which we would be connected to a doctoral school in industry-university cooperation. Based on our own research infrastructure (living labs, field operation areas, gene bank area, forestry-nursery, technical rooms, offices), we can actively participate in the development and operation of a cooperative doctoral school program.
