Research Networks Services
Research Networks include EFI member organizations and other relevant research partners. The networks aim to enhance European and/or regional cooperation and coordination of transnational research within EFI`s themes of Bioeconomy, Resilience and Governance. Coordinated by an EFI member organization, Research Networks maintain a permanent dialogue between EFI member organizations and EFI Programmes and Facilities. Research Networks operate for a certain time period (five years, subject to renewal) and their coordination is self-financed.
In August 2018, EFI signed an agreement with BOKU to create a new Forest Policy Research Network. This network has emerged from former activities with EFI’s Regional Office EFICEEC-EFISEE, and is coordinated by the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna.
In May 2019, EFI signed an agreement with SLU to create a new Forest Bioeconomy Network. This network has emerged from former activities with EFI`s Regional Office EFINORD, and is coordinated by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU).
In June 2021, EFI signed an agreement with IEFC to create a new Planted Forests Network. This network is coordinated by the Institut Européen de la Forêt Cultivée (IEFC).
In March 2022, EFI signed an agreement with WUR to create a Climate Smart Forestry Network. This network is coordinated by Wageningen Environmental Research (WUR).
