Project centres

EFI also has project centres around Europe. These centres focus on specific topics relevant to particular regions or important issues.

The mediterranean project centre, MEDFOREX was initiated by the Forest Sciences Centre of Catalonia (CTFC), and was then incorporated by EFI in 2011, as EFIMED.

Activities

EFI conducts research and provides policy support on forest related issues. Further, it facilitate and stimulates forest related networking as well as promotes the supply of unbiased and policy relevant information on forests and forestry. It also advocates for forest research and for scientifically sound information as a basis for policy-making on forests. All these activities are done either at the pan-European level or the work is of European relevance and they are carried out by both the Institute's HQ and Regional Offices. The Headquarters' programmes are:

  • Sustainability and Climate Change
  • Forest for Society
  • Foresight and Policy Support

EFI's work on the field of policy support includes enhanced support for decision and policy makers. It has a strong policy support role by hosting the EU FLEGT Facility [3] which supports the EU Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) process in developing countries, related to the implementation of the EU FLEGT Action Plan. EU FLEGT Facility assist the European Commission and the EU Member States in their joint efforts of its implementation.
