Regional Offices
EFI has three Regional Offices:
Mediterranean Regional Office - EFIMED, located in Barcelona, Spain
Central European Regional Office – EFICENT, located in Freiburg, Germany and Nancy, France
Atlantic European Regional Office – EFIATLANTIC, located in Bordeaux, France
During 2010, EFI expects to open Regional Offices also in Vienna, Austria (Central-East European Regional Office – EFICEEC), in Copenhagen, Denmark (North European Regional Office - EFINORD) and in Varazdin, Croatia (South-East European Regional Office - EFISEE)
The Regional Offices of EFI are integral parts of the Institute and governed by Terms of Reference and EFI management practises. They address forest research and networking issues at a regional level following the EFI Strategy. Their activities bring visibility to regional forest issues by putting them into European context. Regional Offices also strengthen the EFI network by opening new avenues for funding.
