Annual Conference

Annual Conference is a central decision-making body in the EFI organisation. The Associate Members of EFI meet at these Conferences and approve matters such as budgets, work plans, and make decisions on the future plans and activities of EFI. The Affiliate Members may also participate in the Annual Conferences.

These Conferences gather annually over a hundred active representatives of the member organisations, and consequently form an active hub of interaction in international forest research.

The Annual Conference consists of a technical annual conference, where decisions are made. The second day is often dedicated to science, and the third day takes the participants to an excursion. The hosts of the Annual Conferences are EFI member organisations from all over Europe.

The call for bids for the EFI Annual Conference Week taking place in 2012 is now open!

The week gathers approximately 180 participants, the numbers in individual meetings varying from 10 to 150 participants. If your organisation is interested in hosting the EFI Annual Conference, please find the application form  here .
Please submit the proposals to Ms Satu Ikonen-Williams (satu.ikonen-williams(at)efi.int) by 10 March 2010.
