NB Forest was a regional information and communication portal on forest research in the Nordic and Baltic region. It promoted the dissemination and sharing of forest and forestry-related information and knowledge for the regional forestry community.
In the Baltic Sea region, there is an evident need to fill the gap between existing national and global information portals, as the target groups and their information needs are different. A regional information service in the Baltic Sea region will contribute to strengthen the regional development by offering a platform for sharing knowledge, where each country can draw on other countries experiences within a specific research field. These fields of research are often so specialized that countries might not alone have the capacity to sustain the research and development.
EFINORD was the main coordinator of the project, working in close collaboration with Nordic Forest Research Cooperation Committee (SNS) and the Nordic-Baltic Forest Research Communicators.
