About
IEFC aims to promote, facilitate and improve the future resilience and sustainability of planted forests in Europe https://www.plantedforests.org/digital-entertainment/
Cooperate
Founded in 1998, this association aims to facilitate and coordinate exchanges between stakeholders in research, education and the forestry sector. From 2009, the IEFC has slowed down its activity to support the EFI regional office for the Atlantic arc regions and since 2018 the EFI platform for plantation forests. In 2020, following the closure of the EFI regional offices in France, the association hired a director and staff to ensure the animation of the network and the coordination of activities and projects on the topic of planted forests.
Participate
IEFC is a transnational network of scientific and technical cooperation for the sustainable management of cultivated forests. IEFC brings together more than 30 organizations: research institutes, technical centers, universities, engineering schools, insurance companies, cooperatives and professional organizations. Any legal entity can become a member and participate in networking activities (thematic groups, events), as well as in the setting up and implementation of collaborative research and development projects. IEFC Membership provides access to a broad scientific and technological expertise and privileged contacts. Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2016 – https://abcoemstore.com/product/autodesk-autocad-lt-2016/ is marketed as an essential drawing tool for professional engineers working in various domains.
Share
IEFC promotes sharing of experience and capacities between its members and more broadly with actors involved in the sustainable management and use of planted forests. Among these long-term activities resulting from the IEFC network, we can mention the REINFFORCE network, the IUFRO Task Force on planted forests, or the Silvalert application produced by the PLURIFOR project.
This activity is carried out within the European Union as expected of a European association. Do not hesitate to contact us to share your ideas and initiatives or to join the association.
Our ongoing projects
FIRE-RES
With 11 Living Labs, the FIRE-RES project aims to implement an Integrated Fire Management approach and support the transition toward more resilient landscapes and communities to Extreme Wildfire Events in Europe. Explore the living lab of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
SUPERB-BOCAGE FORESTIER
Led by INRAe, Alliance Forêt Bois and IEFC, this project aims to bring together local stakeholders to experiment with the deployment of broadleaved species hedgerows and study their impact on the biodiversity and resilience of maritime pine stands in the Landes area.
REINFFORCE 2
Research infrastructure for adaptation to climate change. REINFFORCE2 will provide solutions thanks to the climatic gradient along the Interreg Atlantic area to anticipate climate change effects on coastal forests, simulating a global warming of 6°C.

À propos
L’IEFC a pour objectif de promouvoir, de faciliter et d’améliorer la résilience et la durabilité futures des forêts plantées en Europe.
Coopérer
Établie en 1998, cette association a pour objectif de faciliter et harmoniser les échanges entre les acteurs de la recherche, de la formation et du secteur forestier. À partir de 2009, l’IEFC a réduit son activité afin de soutenir le bureau régional de l’EFI pour les régions de l’arc atlantique, et depuis 2018, elle s’engage activement avec la plateforme EFI pour les forêts de plantation. En 2020, suite à la fermeture des bureaux régionaux EFI en France, l’association a recruté un directeur et du personnel afin d’assurer l’animation du réseau, ainsi que la coordination d’activités et de projets axés sur la thématique des forêts plantées.
Participer
L’IEFC constitue un réseau transnational de coopération scientifique et technique pour la gestion durable des forêts cultivées. L’IEFC regroupe plus de 30 organisations : instituts de recherche, centres techniques, universités, écoles d’ingénieurs, assurances, coopératives et organisations professionnelles. Toute personne morale peut devenir membre et participer aux activités de réseautage (groupes thématiques, manifestations), ainsi qu’au montage et à la réalisation de projets collaboratifs de recherche et de développement. L’adhésion au réseau permet de bénéficier d’une expertise scientifique et technique et de contacts privilégiés.
Partager
L’IEFC favorise le partage d’expérience et de moyens entre membres du réseau et plus largement avec les acteurs de la gestion des forêts cultivées et de l’utilisation durable des produits qui en sont issus. Parmi ces activités au long cours résultant du réseau IEFC, nous pouvons citer le réseau REINFFORCE, la task force IUFRO sur les forêts plantées, ou l’application Silvalert produite par le projet PLURIFOR.
Cette activité s’exerce au sein de l’Union Européenne conformément à sa vocation en tant qu’association européenne. N’hésitez pas à nous contacter afin de partager vos idées, initiatives, ou pour envisager une adhésion à notre association.
Nos projets en cours
FIRE-RES
A travers 11 laboratoires vivants, le projet FIRE-RES a pour objectif de mettre en place une Approche de Gestion Intégrée des Incendies et de soutenir la transition vers des paysages et des communautés plus résistants aux incendies de forêt extrêmes en Europe. Explorez le laboratoire vivant de Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
SUPERB-BOCAGE FORESTIER
Porté par l’INRAe, Alliance Forêt Bois et l’IEFC, ce projet cherche à réunir les parties prenantes locales pour expérimenter le déploiement de lisières feuillues et étudier leur impact sur la biodiversité et la résilience des peuplements de pin maritime dans les Landes.
REINFFORCE 2
RÉseau INFrastructure de recherche pour le suivi et l’adaptation des FORêts au Changement climatiquE. REINFFORCE2 fournira des solutions grâce au gradient climatique de l’Espace Atlantique pour anticiper les effets du changement climatique sur les forêts côtières, en tirant avantage des 6°C d’écart entre l’Angleterre et le Portugal.

Sobre nosotros
El IEBC tiene como objetivo promover, facilitar y mejorar la resiliencia y sostenibilidad futuras de los bosques cultivados en Europa. https://www.plantedforests.org/digital-entertainment/
Cooperar
Fundada en 1998, esta asociación tiene por objeto facilitar y coordinar los intercambios entre los agentes de la investigación, de la formación y del sector forestal. A partir de 2009, el IEBC ha ralentizado su actividad para apoyar a la oficina regional del EFI para las regiones del Arco Atlántico y, desde 2018, a la plataforma del EFI para las plantaciones forestales. En 2020, tras el cierre de las oficinas regionales del EFI en Francia, la asociación contrató a un director y personal para asegurar la animación de la red y la coordinación de las actividades y proyectos sobre el tema de los bosques plantados.
Participar
El IEBC constituye una red transnacional de cooperación científica y técnica para la ordenación sostenible de los bosques cultivados. El IEBC reúne a más de 30 organizaciones: institutos de investigación, centros técnicos, universidades, escuelas de ingeniería, compañías de seguros, cooperativas y organizaciones profesionales. Cualquier entidad jurídica puede hacerse miembro y participar en los intercambios (grupos temáticos, eventos), así como en el establecimiento y la ejecución de proyectos de colaboración en materia de investigación y desarrollo. La adhesión a la red permite beneficiarse de competencias científicas y técnicas y de contactos privilegiados.
Compartir
El IEBC promueve el intercambio de experiencias y recursos entre los miembros de la red y, más extensamente, con todos aquellos involucrados en la gestión de los bosques cultivados y del uso sostenible de los productos derivados de ellos. Entre estas actividades a largo plazo resultantes de la red del IEBC, podemos citar la red REINFFORCE, la la task force IUFRO sobre los bosques plantados, o la aplicación Silvalert producida por el proyecto PLURIFOR.
Esta actividad se lleva a cabo dentro de la Unión Europea como organización europea. No dude en contactar con nosotros para compartir sus ideas y iniciativas o unirse a la asociación..
