European forest research and innovation

European forests are critical to carbon storage, biodiversity conservation, water quality, socio-demographic stability and economic revenue. EUFORINNO is a mean for SFI to raise its scientific excellence and better exploit its innovative outputs (IP, scientific publishing and networking). The project focuses on filling in gaps in 4 RID sub-objectives: i) genetic monitoring; ii) biodiversity and functional diversity; iii) belowground complexity; and iv) net ecosystem carbon exchange in time and space). EUFORINNO relies on 8 excellent research partners who support SFI in building its long-term strategy, welcome researchers for mobility trainings and participate to install new protocols, through on-site trainings on new methodologies, data analysis and interpretation. Expected outcomes are an increase of excellence; a deeper integration within the ERA (especially in the European Forest Research and Innovation Area - EuFoRIA) and collaboration with end-users; the recognition of SFI as a research entity of major excellence; and an increase of forestry research excellence and awareness in Europe.
