The Laurus network continues its training activities by organising a new webinar exploring how Operational Groups can drive innovation for forest owners and how associations can successfully apply to this measure.
The webinar will be supported by FOREST4EU, an Horizon Europe project that works on innovation and best practices among Operational Groups at the EU level.
In this webinar you will learn:
- How OGs work and why they matter for private forest ownership in Europe.
- How Operational Groups enable forest-focused innovation and address practical challenges for owners and their associations.
- Real examples and long-term benefits of OG projects that focus on forest owners sustainability and profitability.
- Key steps, requirements, and best practices for associations to apply for OG funding and build effective multi-actor partnerships.
The webinar is aimed at technical staff from European forestry associations, as well as forest owners, consultants, political authorities and anyone interested in this topic.
