IMACFORD
Improving and Advancing Co-ordination of Forest Research and
Development in Europe
IMACFORD is an Accompanying Measure submitted to the Commission by EFI.
It includes two subtasks, each coordinated by a Regional Project Center
(RPC). One of the subtasks is coordinated
by the Institut Européen de la Forêt Cultivée (IEFC),
and the other by the Centre Tecnològic Forestal de Catalunya (CTFC)
on behalf of the MEDFOREX network.
The aim of the MEDFOREX related subtask is to (a) improve the research
coordination at both interdisciplinary and research -end user level, (b)
to provide a platform for dialogue with a wide variety of end users through
which to identify research needs, and (c) to elaborate a framework for
research programmes with better interdisciplinary integration and more
end user oriented. Altogether, within the MEDFOREX theme and with the 6th
Framework Program in mind. For more details, see the general technical
annex and the list
