ForestValue Cofund Call - Innovating forest-based bioeconomy

Basic Information

The topics of the planned ForestValue joint call will contribute to transforming the global economy from a dependence on fossil and non-renewable raw materials to a sustainable “bio-based economy”. The co-funded joint transnational call will address the whole forest-based value chain in two areas: 1) Innovative sustainable management of multifunctional forests 2) Innovative industrial production and processing technologies, products, concepts and services For focal areas for each of the themes, please see the call text. As these topics are crosscutting, the call will also aim to encourage and make best use of interdisciplinary systems approaches, and improve the impact and integration of social research and economics in this sector.
