TRANSFER

Building on excellence in research, we are a recognized center for knowledge transfer in priority areas such as multifunctional forest management and large wildfire prevention, as well as biodiversity, bioeconomy, and agroforestry.

We work closely with universities, research centers, public administrations, companies, and local communities to address key challenges arising from global change.

Transfer on
Forestry

We support multifunctional forest planning at different scales to enhance forest management, planning, and agroforestry restoration. Through the Catalan Forest Observatory, we compile data on forest systems, production, and ecosystem services.

As Spain's National EFESC Agency, we accredit training centers and professionals for several forestry-related certifications.
