We are thrilled to announce a series of workshops aimed at exploring and gathering valuable insights into stakeholders’ knowledge, perceptions, preferences, attitudes, values, and opinions about the production, management, conservation, commercialisation, and use of FGR and FRM across six selected European countries.

Workshops have already taken place in Spain and Finland, and upcoming sessions are planned in Italy, Slovenia, Denmark, France, and Romania. These workshops bring together representatives from government, civil society, academia, and businesses to discuss best practices, identify knowledge gaps, tackle challenges, and seize opportunities to enhance the vision and understanding of FGR and FRM.

We are especially pleased with the active participation and enthusiasm demonstrated by our Spanish and Finnish stakeholders and eagerly look forward to the valuable insights from our upcoming discussions with other European partners.

Stay tuned for more updates and outcomes from the OptFORESTS project!
