The ForestValue2 project has taken an important step toward real-world impact through the Booster Go-to-Market (G2M) service, which helped translate project results into a clear and actionable pathway for adoption across Europe
At the core of this process is a key outcome: a replicable transnational joint call framework for research and innovation in the forest-based bioeconomy. More than a conceptual model, this framework is a tested and ready-to-use methodology that enables countries and funding organisations to design and implement coordinated transnational calls. By doing so, it directly addresses one of the major challenges in European research—fragmentation of funding—and supports stronger alignment between national and EU-level priorities.
One of the most significant findings of the Booster service is the high level of maturity of this result. The framework builds on established practices from previous joint call initiatives and is already operational, meaning that funding organisations can adopt it without the need for substantial additional development. Its value lies in making collaboration simpler and more effective: standardised procedures reduce administrative complexity, improve transparency, and allow faster implementation of high-impact research projects.
The sBooster service also helped sharpen the framework’s positioning. Rather than targeting a commercial market, it is designed for a policy-driven environment, addressing the needs of national and regional funding bodies, programme managers, and European partnerships. By clarifying who benefits most and how the framework is used, the project has created a solid foundation for broader uptake beyond the initial consortium.
Importantly, the Booster process shifted the focus from concept to usability. A key next step is to develop the framework into a practical implementation toolkit, supported by templates, guidelines, and best practices. This will be essential for enabling replication and scaling across different countries and initiatives, including those with less experience in transnational cooperation.
What distinguishes this result is its ability to combine strategic alignment with operational value. It not only supports European policy goals, such as strengthening the European Research Area and improving coordination of funding programmes, but also provides concrete tools that make these goals easier to implement in practice.
With the groundwork now in place, the focus moves to adoption and scaling. Increasing visibility, engaging with European networks and partnerships, and ensuring alignment with future initiatives will be key to unlocking the full potential of this framework. In this way, ForestValue2 demonstrates how targeted support can turn a project result into a practical, scalable solution with long-term impact on the European bioeconomy.
