The FORWARDS project, funded under Horizon Europe, announces the launch of two new calls for grants aimed at advancing forest monitoring and disturbance characterization after the first one on Climate-Smart forestry was launched in July. These calls present a unique opportunity for researchers and organisations to contribute to the development of the ForestWard Observatory, a pan-European monitoring tool that addresses the impact of climate change on forests. These third-party grants are coordinated by European Forest Institute, partner in the FORWARDS project. 

Open until 31st January 2025, the FORWARDS project is looking for researchers focusing on forest disturbances within Europe. These calls are highly important in advancing our knowledge of climate change impact on forests and improving monitoring capabilities. They offer a valuable opportunity for collaboration and knowledge-sharing among European researchers and organisations. For detailed application guidelines and further information on FORWARDS, please visit https://forwards-project.eu/call-for-grants/ and https://efi.int/grants-training/grants
