IEFC aims to promote, facilitate and improve the future resilience and sustainability of planted forests in Europe. Our mission is to use a bottom-up approach through collaboration driven by planted forest owners and practitioners and linking researchers and educators to Promote, Facilitate, Improve, Coordinate and Disseminate solutions to aid forest owners and practitioners to manage and ensure Sustainable Management of Planted Forests in Europe.

Being an EFI research network acknowledge mutual cooperation on planted forests issues. A common agenda is set up on a yearly basis to define actions in line with the strategic objectives of both organisations to make synergies on some of the networking and policy making actions.
