Virtual event on 17-18 November 2020
The ForestValue Research Programme Midterm Seminar 2020 was originally planned to be held in Berlin but because of the challenges posed by the unprecedented global crisis the seminar was held online and was divided into two days. This public seminar brought together around 80 international participants to learn about the first year outcomes of the 17 projects selected for funding under the 1st Joint Call of the ForestValue Research Programme and to exchange information and ideas among people with a common interest: innovating the European forest-based bioeconomy.
ERA-NET Cofund ForestValue, State Research Agency AEI in Spain, Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Finland as event organizers and hosts would like to thank the keynote speakers of the event, Prof. Andreja Kutnar (Day 1: “Scientific and innovation excellence through interdisciplinary science”) and Prof. Tobias Stern (Day 2: “Perception of the forest-based sector, its innovations and future pathways”) for their most interesting and inspiring speeches, and you all who participated in the event and made it a success.
Hope you all enjoyed the webinar!
