Forests and Forestry for a Sustainable future

Forests and Forestry for a Sustainable future

Partnership website: https://eufore.eu/strategic-ri-agenda-sria/
This Partnership Focuses on sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation, and climate resilience, supporting the bioeconomy and rural development. It is currently under development.

The partnership aim is to promote healthy, biodiverse and resilient forests that are sustainably managed and able to provide a wide range of keyecosystem services, including climate change mitigation through carbon removals and a continuing supply of materials and services for the development of the bioeconomy.


Timeline & key documents

  • More information about the Partnership proposal (2023). The partnership proposal is also further elaborated on in this Commission presentation (November 2024): PowerPoint Presentation
  • In October 2025, the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda for the European forest-based sector was published by EUFORE, the European Forest Research and Innovation Ecosystem. The SRIA provides a strategic compass for national and European research agendas. In particular, it will inform and be further developed by the forthcoming European Research and Innovation Partnership on Forests and Forestry for a Sustainable Future. It outlines priority areas where scientific excellence and innovation can support evidence-based policymaking, enhance cross-sectoral collaboration, and enable Europe’s forest-based sector to deliver longterm ecological, economic, and social value.

How to use partnerships?

  • orientation
    Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points.
  • networking
    Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents.
  • ecosystem analysis
    Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain.
  • steering the agenda
    Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.

AENEAS – Innovative energy storage systems onboard vessels

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-CL5-2022-D5-01-02), running from 2023 to 2026, AENEAS advanced the development of innovative electric energy storage solutions tailored for waterborne transport. The project has also created tools & platforms to support the optimal integration of new energy storage systems into vessels, assess their impact on overall system efficiency, and quantify potential reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The project consortium, led by Flanders Make, consists of 14 partners from 8 countries. Read more about the project in this testimonial.
