A Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for the European forest-based sector
EUFORE (the European Forest Research and Innovation Ecosystem) is a Horizon Europe project funded by the European Union. Its Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) sets out a long-term framework for research and innovation to strengthen the resilience, sustainability and multifunctionality of Europe’s forests and forest-based sector. Developed through an inclusive, multistakeholder co-creation process, this SRIA reflects the collective intelligence and shared ambitions of policymakers, industry, researchers, forest owners, and civil society.
This SRIA is accompanied by a Roadmap.
