A Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for the European forest-based sector

Published 15 October 2025 By EUFORE

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.
