Projects
EUFGIS (since 2007)
European Information System on Forest Genetic Resources (EUFGIS) provides geo-referenced information on the conservation of forest genetic resources in Europe and access to detailed data on genetic conservation units of forest trees.
COST Action 52 (2006-2010)
The COST Action 52 was an evaluation of beech genetic resources for sustainable forestry. The main objective of this COST Action was to make predictions of the future distribution range of beech forest ecosystems under the assumption of certain scenarios of climate change.
EVOLTREE (since 2006)
Evolution of Trees as Drivers of Terrestrial Biodiversity (EVOLTREE) aims to link four major disciplines (Ecology, Genetics, Genomics and Evolution) to address global issues that European forests are currently facing as environmental changes, erosion of biodiversity.
FORESTTRAC (2010-2012)
The Forest Ecosystem Genomics Research: Supporting Transatlantic Cooperation's (FORESTTRAC) main aim was to prepare coordinated research plans via a strategic research roadmap, between Europe and North America regarding adaptation of forest trees to climate changes.
FORGER (2012-2016)
The FORGER project aimed at integrating and extending existing knowledge to provide science-based recommendations on the management and sustainable use of FGR for EU policy-makers, national stakeholders, forest managers, and managers of natural areas.
GenTree (2016-2020)
The goal is to provide the European forestry sector with better knowledge, methods and tools for optimising the management and sustainable use of forest genetic resources (FGR) in Europe.
LIFEGENMON (2014 - 2020)
The project will provide guidelines for forest genetic monitoring, a manual and a decision support system for decision makers on establishing the forest genetic monitoring system and documents for possible future legislative developments.
TREEBREEDEX (2006-2010)
The main aim of the European Forest Tree Breeding Infrastructure (TREEBREEDEX) was to develop at the European level a scientific and technical research framework in forest genetics and tree breeding.
Trees4Future (2011-2016)
Trees4Future is an Integrative European Research Infrastructure project that aims to integrate, develop and improve major forest genetics and forestry research infrastructures.
