National workshop within the framework of the European project FORADVISE.

On November 25, 2025, 2BForest, in partnership with the University of Aveiro, organized the national workshop for the FORADVISE project, co-financed by the Horizon Europe program and aimed at strengthening and modernizing forest advisory services in Europe.

The workshop brought together Portuguese participants involved in forestry consulting and management to validate the country's FOKIS maps and identify priority actions to strengthen the role of forestry advisory services, promote knowledge exchange, and support the transition to more sustainable and resilient management practices.

The session included the participation of technicians, consultants, academics, and other relevant stakeholders, providing a space for technical and collaborative debate on the current challenges of the sector and opportunities for innovation and technical capacity building. 2BForest and the University of Aveiro played an active role in driving the discussions, highlighting the importance of integrated advisory networks that enhance support for forest owners and managers in Portugal.

The national workshop is part of FORADVISE's broader effort to build a robust system of forest advisory networks in Europe, which will accelerate the flow of knowledge between countries, promote the use of digital tools, and strengthen the capacity to respond to climate and environmental challenges in forest territories.

The joint organization of this event reinforces 2BForest's commitment to international cooperation, the dissemination of best practices, and the development of technical and innovative solutions that contribute to sustainable and effective forest management, aligned with European biodiversity and climate resilience goals.
