The international projects TRANSFORMIT and BOOST4BIOEAST fall under the category Coordination and Support Actions.
The outputs of the TRANSFORMIT project are intended to contribute to intensive cooperation, mutual learning and knowledge sharing between nature conservation and forestry authorities, forest managers, research institutions and other stakeholders in order to exploit synergies and minimise trade-offs in forest management.
The project should also contribute to the development of computer models that will be used as operational tools to investigate the impacts of climate change on forest functioning.
The project is coordinated by the international organisation European Forest Institute (EFI) and a total of 16 partners from 11 countries will collaborate on the project.
The BOOST4BIOEAST project aims to set in motion the mechanisms for the implementation of the bioeconomy in Central Eastern Europe and the Baltics.
The consortium will focus on building on the results of BIOEASTsUP and the BIOEAST Vision Paper by strengthening the participation of national stakeholder networks in the development of national bioeconomy action plans and building a long-term structure for national and macro-regional cooperation. The BIOEAST HUBs will be national platforms that will be directly linked to public administrations to build capacity and mobilise different stakeholders to contribute and participate more effectively in decision-making processes using participatory approaches.
The project involves 31 partners from 16 countries and is coordinated by the Hungarian Research Institute of Organic Agriculture.
