After two years of dedicated collaboration, lively consultations, and research, we are excited to invite you to the official launch of the strategic R&I agenda for forestry and the forest-based sector (SRIA) at our high-level event, “Shaping the Future of Forest Research & Innovation for a Competitive Europe”. Join us in Brussels on October 15 from 9:00 to 15:00 CET for a day full of inspiring discussions and exciting opportunities.
During this event, we will discuss the content and goals of the SRIA and offer a forum for dialogue, joint reflection, and future planning, created for stakeholders like you to participate, ask questions, and help shape the way ahead.
The agenda includes dynamic sessions such as:
“Building the SRIA” – Presented by European Forest Institute (EFI) & the German Agency for Renewable Resources (FNR)
A short overview of the SRIA development journey and key milestones.
“Inside the SRIA: Priorities and Perspectives” – Moderated by European Forest Institute
A lively panel discussion bringing together voices from industry, research, policy, funding, and societal organizations to share insights on the key themes of the SRIA, with opportunities for open questions and audience input.
“Turning the SRIA into Action: What’s Next?” – Presented and moderated by the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine (DAFM) & the Finish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MMM)
A forward-looking session that connects the SRIA with the upcoming Forest Partnership and encourages open dialogue, questions, and ideas about the future Partnership.
