OptForEU | Smart Forests for a Resilient Europe
24/11 @ 08:30 - 18:00
On 24 November 2026, from 08:30 to 18:00, OptFor-EU will join forces with the Horizon Europe project CLIMB-FOREST for the final event “Smart Forests for a Resilient Europe: Decision Support, Science and Policy Impact.”
The event will provide an opportunity to present the main results and tools developed by both projects and discuss how research can contribute to more resilient and climate-smart forest management across Europe.
OptFor-EU will present its main outcomes, including the Forest Decision Support System and policy recommendations, while CLIMB-FOREST will share findings on climate-resilient forest futures, long-term modelling and practical forest management pathways.
Beyond presenting research results, the event aims to strengthen the connection between science, forest management and European policy. It will bring together researchers, forest managers, practitioners, forest authorities and policymakers to discuss how the knowledge and tools developed through Horizon Europe can be translated into operational decisions.
The programme will also provide space for dialogue with European institutions and other forest stakeholders on implementation pathways, remaining knowledge gaps and future research needs for resilient European forests.
Date: 24 November 2026
