The staff is a team of environmental experts and scientists (landscape ecologists, geographers, biologists) with different main focuses and long term professional experience. At present four engineers and scientists are engaged full-time by ifuplan. The management structure facilitates short access to the project manager in charge, immediate reactions and decisions in the project, and made-to-order solutions for the customer. Additional experts of different main focuses like agriculture, forestry, geology, hydrology or economy can be involved on request and will be coordinated to achieve well based interdisciplinary results. As well, we can contribute our results to an external project management if requested.
