Forest Academy for EU Decision Makers
Forest Academy for EU Decision Makers organized in Sweden 2025
The fourth Forest Academy for EU Decision Makers took place in Sweden, near Stockholm, on 17–19 September 2025. This high-level, invitation-only event offered an unique opportunity for EU decision-makers to engage in dialogue with leading forest experts, scientists, and practitioners.
Hosted jointly by Sweden and Finland, the Forest Academy focuses on the role of forests and the forest-based value chain in building a sustainable, circular bioeconomy. Through a three-day programme that combined field visits with in-depth discussions, participants explored how forest policies are implemented in practice and how they contribute to biodiversity, climate action and competitiveness.
Set in a country with a strong forest tradition and commitment to sustainability, the 2025 Forest Academy served as a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and inspiration.
The Swedish Forest Agency was the organizer of the Forest Academy 2025, supported by The Finnish Forest Association.
