Forest Policy Reseach Network (FPRN)

This organisation is part of the European Forest Institute family and coordinated by the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) in Vienna. EFI and BOKU signed an agreement to create the Forest Policy Research Network in 2018. The focus is on the analysis of forest-related policies, actors, implementation, innovation and monitoring in Europe and globally.

The network has emerged from former activities with EFI’s Regional Office EFICEEC-EFISEE, and is coordinated by the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna.

It is a pan-European research network of EFI member organizations and other relevant institutions. The mission is to jointly implement scientific cooperation on forest policy and governance.

The network produces new research and activities to create a better understanding of the post-2020 European policy framework in terms of forest-related questions. It builds bridges between western and eastern Europe with capacity building activities, and contributes to a fluent dialogue with Forest Europe.
