FOREST partnership looking for International Expert Panel

The FOREST partnership, a project launched in June which aims to fund Research & Innovation in forestry, is looking for experts to evaluate R&I proposals. This partnership, which is a continuation of the EUFORE project, will launch a call in September 2026. Invited are researchers, practitioners and other stakeholders with recognised expertise in the Joint Call topic areas and objectives, including interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral research, innovation and practice.

Registration is already possible here.
