We have established collaboration with FOREST4EU – European innovation partnership network promoting operational group dedicated to forestry and agroforestry. FOREST4EU is a Horizon Europe project aiming at connecting existing Operational Groups (OGs) from different countries around Europe, in order to favour the transfer of knowledge and best practices between experts in this field.

Our collaboration will include exchange in data collection and analysis methods. FOREST4EU’s work with EIP-AGRI Operational Groups at the local level will be providing us valuable insights into innovation activities in Europe.

We are also happy to liase with DigiMedFor, a three-year Horizon Europe project led by the University of Naples Federico II. DigiMedFor is developing innovative digital solutions (geospatial technologies, AI, modeling, and ICT) to improve Mediterranean forest management. Their goal is to enhance the sustainability and traceability of wood production and optimize ecosystem services.

Our collaboration will include knowledge exchange and joint communication.

Our collaboration also extends to TRANSFORMIT, which is funded by the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme. TRANSFORMIT aims to improve and showcase the effectiveness of Integrative Forest Management as a viable pathway for merging biodiversity conservation and societal demands. By integrating both practical and scientific knowledge, they will stipulate collaboration, mutual learning and new synergies amongst science, policy, and practice.

We will work together with TRANSFORMIT on establishing new synergies and learning from each other.
