EFI is seeking a senior professional with strong international research and leadership experience to develop EFI’s new Programme on Bioeconomy.
The European forest-based sector is in a period of profound structural changes due to a number of socio-economic, environmental, technological and policy developments. This situation requires foresight and research to reassess the future of the forest-based sector within the emerging bioeconomy. EFI’s Bioeconomy Programme should develop interdisciplinary knowledge at the interface of forest-based products and services markets, forest resources, sustainability, and policies affecting the forest-based sector in Europe.
