Europe’s forests are under increasing pressure from climate change and natural disturbances. At the same time, the Nature Restoration Regulation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy pushes for urgent restoration of forests. This Summer School of the Euroleague for Life Sciences deals with how to approach and adapt to this, and how sudden disturbances can steer restoration activities, at scales from local to Europe wide. The Summer School will be held at the beautiful Alpine Study Center of Tuscia University in Pieve Tesino, Italy.
