Final Conference of the SIMWOOD project 'Solutions for Wood Mobilisation in Europe'

Regional, national and European stakeholders interested in wood mobilisation are invited to the conference ‘Solutions for Wood Mobilisation in Europe’ (SIMWOOD project final conference). The programme is designed to address both forest practitioners (forest managers, entrepreneurs, wood suppliers etc.) and policy-makers.

The members of the EU research project SIMWOOD (Sustainable Innovative Mobilisation of Wood) will present their findings of four years of region-based research action and trans-European cooperation at a final conference in Paris, France. The SIMWOOD project aims to increase the mobilisation of wood from forests and woodlands in Europe. The project reaches out to stakeholders and regional initiatives with the aim of engaging and mobilising forest owners and practitioners, promoting collaborative forest management and ensuring sustainable forest functions.

 Special highlights are:

• Lessons learned from SIMWOOD pilot projects and Regional Learning Labs
• Experiences shared by SMEs
• Demonstration of tools and products to support wood mobilisation
• Panel discussion with forest practitioners, policy makers and researchers
