Project overview<\/p>\n

The objective of this Accompanying Measure is to improve existing and develop new networking facilities in European forest research, and to adapt existing research structures to meet the new demands. The project leader is EFI.
\nThe Accompanying Measure proposed here has therefore the following specific objectives:<\/p>\n

(A) to arrange a series of four co-ordination meetings <\/b><\/u>
\n(i) to exchange information and promote dialogue between the EU and the forest research community on the forestry-related research needs in the light of the forthcoming 6th Framework Programme and ERA, on one hand, and on the existing research capacities and networks in Europe in the field of forestry on the other (Task A1); and to
\n(ii) explore and develop a European Network of Regional\/Thematic Centres for Forestry, in a manner which will contribute to the European Research Area in an appropriate and meaningful way (Task A2).<\/p>\n

(B) to strengthen individual Regional\/Thematic Centres for Forestry, <\/b><\/u>
\nwith a special emphasis on regional research skills and multidisciplinary needs, in liaison with interregional sustainable development and links between research, industry and end users. The aim is to prepare interdisciplinary research excellence networks, facilitated by inputs from end-users (Task B).
\nThis project includes development plans of two such thematic networks as case studies : subtask B1 focusing on the sustainable development of forestry-wood chains in the context of fast-growing European forests <\/b>and subtask B2 having as its topic the sustainable development of sustainable management of Mediterranean forests (coordinated by MEDFOREX).<\/p>\n

The specific research questions that will be investigated relates to \u0093how scientific progress and technical innovations can contribute to the sustainable development of the forestry sector\u0094<\/b>.<\/p>\n

(C) as a result of (A) and (B), to produce pre-evaluated pan-European research programmes serving the needs of geographical and thematic networking between countries and disciplines, to meet the requirements of the European Research Area.<\/p>\n

TASK B1 Program<\/p>\n

This substask is managed by IEFC.
\nThe main questions that will be addressed and discussed in this task will cover issues related to the deployment of new technologies and scientific progress in the forestry sector in terms of ecological and socio-economic acceptability, for example :<\/p>\n
