OptiForValue

Funded under the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU), OptiForValue is a ~€5 million 4-year project (2024-2028). #OptiForValue’s mission is optimising forest operations for sustainable forest management and high-value applications.  🌲 🌳 🌱 🌍 ♻️ 💡 📋 📈 #CBEJU #HorizonEurope #ForestOptimisation #forestManagement #LoggingOperations #TimberSupply

The Institute of Forest Engineering is involved with Christian Kanzian and Stephan Böhm in the #OptiForValue project to improve #sustainable #forest #management practices that will simultaneously enhance forest #health and #resilience, and provide feedstocks and services.

Happy Friday! Hope 2025 is off to a flying start! 🌲 🌳 🌱 🌍 ♻️ #CBEJU #HorizonEurope #ForestOptimisation #TimberSupply #ClimateAdaptation #ForestFire #BarkBeetle #drought #SnowDamage

Interested to explore innovations in forestry across Europe & collaboration among key stakeholders in the forest-based sector? SAVE THE DATE! 🗓️ 11-12 February 2025 🌲 6th edition of the Forest Innovation Workshop 🌲 Brussels 🌲 co-organised by the FOREST4EU Project, the European Forest Institute, The Network of European Regions for Innovation in Agriculture, Food and Forestry (#ERIAFF network), and OptFor-EU. #ForestOptimisation #innovations

Wood use is increasing globally, with demand estimated to significantly surpass supply, increasing the pressure to increase forest areas and growth. The importance of forests in climate change mitigation and maintaining biodiversity is becoming more evident (as emphasised in the New EU Forest Strategy for 2023). Climate change is also causing direct challenges to forests and the bioeconomy, due to increasing biotic and abiotic threats affecting forest health and causing severe economic losses.   🌲 🌳 🌱 🌍 ♻️ OptiForValue will work on these challenges, contributing to the Circular Bio-based Europe call for optimised forest-based value chains for high-value applications and improved forest management. ✅ This will be achieved by developing and upgrading non-invasive solutions for forest health monitoring and wood quality control, ✅ developing forest management methods to restore and enhance forest health and increase biodiversity, and ✅ developing operational capability for agile value management, gaining a deep understanding of the environmental and social impacts of the forestry solutions and their economic feasibility. 💡 📋 📈 #CBEJU #HorizonEurope #OptiForValue #ForestOptimisation #TimberSupply #techinnovation

Wishing you a happy, healthy, peaceful and innovative New Year full of boundless possibilities and cutting-edge achievements! The #OptiForValue team hope it’s off to a flying start! 🌲 🌳 🌱 🌍 ♻️ 💡 📋 📈 #CBEJU #HorizonEurope #ForestOptimisation #TimberSupply #techinnovation
