European Forest Research and Innovation System
Abstract
EUFORE supports the preparation of a possible European Forest Research and Innovation Partnership under the Horizon Europe programme. The project objective is to create, in a participatory way, a permanent transnational framework in which research and innovation programmes and roadmaps for all forest-based value chains in Europe can be established, implemented and evaluated. In order to support the implementation of the new EU Forestry Strategy, research needs in the forestry and timber sector will be assessed and outlined, and a platform for enhanced cooperation in joint funding of research and innovation will emerge. The project results are to include a strategic research and innovation plan for forestry and the forest-based sector with corresponding implementation measures (Strategic R&I Agenda for Forestry and the Forest-based Sector, SRIA), which are supported by the key stakeholders. Therefore, a participatory co-design approach with all stakeholders is envisaged, in which a broad involvement of affected and interested actors is aimed at by means of suitable participation formats. The research and innovation plan should thus create a strong identification as a joint product of all stakeholders and thus ensure its active implementation. In order to facilitate good, knowledge-based decisions, the project will provide the necessary information to the various groups involved in a suitable form. This includes an overview of the research and innovation activities in the European forestry and timber sector, their financing and institutional structures, an analysis of the political framework conditions as well as the estimation of development trends of the sector and the future supply and demand structures for forest ecosystem services.
