The European Forest Research and Innovation Ecosystem (EUFORE) is a Horizon Europe project funded by the European Union, running from November 2022 to October 2026.

The overarching ambition of EUFORE is to greatly improve the sector’s research and innovation funding and governance structure.

The project builds a sustainable, transnational, co-creative environment to define, implement and evaluate a research and innovation (R&I) agenda and roadmap for the forest-based value chains in Europe.

EUFORE brings together the entire value chain of forests and the forest based sector in Europe
