This vacancy has been closed. The Joint Research Centre (JRC) is looking for a researcher who will contribute to the work programme of the Forests and Bioeconomy Unit related to the activities on forests and LULUCF, mainly in the EU but also globally. Based in Ispra, Italy, the successful candidate will work on: supporting modelling of near-real-time carbon fluxes from forests, by combining existing forest growth models (e.g., the Carbon...

In December 2022, ForestPaths issued its first co-funded publication: the EFISCEN-Space 1.0 model documentation and manual, published by Wageningen Environmental Research. EFISCEN-Space is among the existing models which ForestPaths will enhance as part of its novel integrated assessment framework in order to capture updated European forest composition and structure information, include disturbance impacts and better address diverse forest management...

On 26 and 27 January, ForestPaths partners gathered at the European Forestry House in Brussels to plan the project’s first Policy Lab which is to take place in September 2023. Its main objective is to identify policy objectives and stakeholder needs for ForestPaths’ policy pathways.  As a renowned hub for forest-related events and gatherings of European forest and wood experts, the European Forestry House also gave ForestPaths members the...

Starting from September 2022, the ForestPaths project brings together 16 partner organisations who will support the EU's transition to a climate-neutral society by delivering forest-based policy pathways. Find out more about the project's approach, main results and innovative stakeholder engagement process from our new ForestPaths presentation!  Discover the presentation here.

Forests are essential for the health of the planet and the well-being of both ecosystems and human societies. As such, they are subject to a number of European and international commitments aiming to protect them. To raise awareness and promote understanding of the key policies that contribute to the preservation and conservation of forests, ForestPaths launched a social media campaign presenting different pieces of policy critical for the project....

ForestPaths wishes you a happy holiday season and a climate- & biodiversity-smart New Year!

How can we include forest disturbances and climate-smart forest management practices in advanced simulation models? Over 30 researchers from 8 European research projects gathered on 16-18 November 2022 in Freising, Germany, to discuss this and other questions. The event gathered experts from the research projects ForestPaths, CLIMB-Forest, HoliSoils, FORWARDS, FORECO, WildE, RESCUE, and ForMII. The meeting focused on how existing simulation models...
