IUFRO, a non-profit international network of over 15,000 forest scientists from nearly 700 organisations in 110+ countries, promotes global forest research cooperation and understanding of forests' ecological, economic, and social aspects.

The 26th IUFRO World Congress will be held in Stockholm from 23-29 June 2024, bringing together policymakers, scientists and practitioners to network, learn about the latest research and discuss sustainable forest futures.

If you’re attending the Congress, take advantage of the chance to connect with ForestPaths researchers and discover more about their work. Check out these sessions to gain valuable insights into ForestPaths research.
