A large and growing number of EU and national policies draw on, or affect directly and indirectly, Europe's forests, including their ecosystems. There is hence a need for improved efforts to provide up-to-date assessments of the condition of European forests, requiring more accurate, frequent data and assessment tools on the status and management of Europe’s forest ecosystems, and links to all EU forest-data webplatforms. The main goal and long-term vision for FISE - the Forest Information System for Europe - is therefore to provide policy and decision makers, forest professionals, scientists and researchers with comprehensive, harmonized forest data and information on a single website featuring a user-friendly interface and customizable output formats.
EFI will be involved in updating the content of topics currently on FISE, preparing content for new topics, linking FISE to policies, and preparing mock-ups for FISE website. EFI will also provide support in meetings with forest stakeholder. EFI will lead the production of lay reports and summaries to communicate research results relevant for forest-related European policies.
