Forest and Environmental Policies, University Freiburg, Germany
Our key issue: Forest and environmental policy for a world in transition
We carry out research and academic education within the field of forest- and environmental policy. Our work is placed in applied social sciences covering forest-, climate-, water- and nature conservation policy at different policy levels. We are in particular interested in issues relevant for different political sectors, such as sustainability or bioeconomy.
We are committed to producing outstanding empirically grounded and theoretically informed research that furthers the field of policy research and is of relevance to policy makers and practitioners. Our field of expertise covers actor, institutional as well as idea based approaches representing the state of art of political science and we engage in further developing these approaches. We rely on a broad range of qualitative and quantitative research methods and have a great expertise in inter- and transdisciplinary research processes.
Bioeconomy, European Forest Institute Joensuu, Joensuu, Finland
The European Forest Institute (EFI) is a pan-European international organization. It has 30 Member Countries, and c. 130 member organizations from 40 different countries working in diverse research fields. EFI provides forest-related knowledge around three interconnected and interdisciplinary themes: bioeconomy, resilience and governance. With a staff of over 100 experts in several offices across Europe, EFI is in a unique position to generate, connect and share knowledge at the interface between science and policy.

Resilience, European Forest Institute Bonn, Bonn, Germany
EFI Bonn coordinates two of the European Forest Institute’s main initiatives:
The Resilience Programme focuses on forest-related resilience issues, including the integration of biodiversity in sustainable forest management, climate change adaptation and mitigation, forest-related risks, payments for ecosystem services and the role of forests and trees in climate-smart cities. The programme emphasizes work on the science-policy-society interface at a European scale, thus strengthening EFI’s policy support role.
The Governance Programme addresses emerging forest governance challenges and opportunities based on the understanding of interests, expectations and perspectives from different stakeholders and sectors on forest land uses and forest management goals.
