The European Forest Institute was established on 9 September 1993 in Joensuu, Finland when 12 founding members from 10 European countries signed the Act of Constitution.
In 2005, EFI changed its legal status from a Finnish association to an international organisation established by European countries, a process which had taken eight years.
Find out more about the early years of EFI in the 20th anniversary book, Celebrating 20 years of forest networking in Europe.
You can watch a short video about the first 20 years, featuring snapshots of some of the people who have been involved in EFI’s story
