Forest Academy for EU Decision Makers to be organized in Sweden 2025
The fourth Forest Academy for EU Decision Makers will take place in Sweden on 17–19 September 2025. This high-level, invitation-only event offers a 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 combines field visits with in-depth discussions, participants will explore 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 will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and inspiration.
The Swedish Forest Agency is the organizer of the Forest Academy 2025, supported by The Finnish Forest Association.
