Stakeholder Hub
👋 Welcome to your forest dialogue space
The OptFORESTS Stakeholder Hub is your dedicated corner to engage with the project, access resources tailored to your role, share feedback, and collaborate on building more resilient, biodiverse, and climate-adapted European forests.
We believe that strengthening cooperation with stakeholders like you is essential to protect forest genetic resources (FGR) and promote the use of forest reproductive material (FRM) to restore ecosystems, support biodiversity, and adapt forests to climate change.
Who is this for?
This section is tailored to all stakeholder groups involved in or affected by forest management, genetic resources, and biodiversity policy in Europe, including:
🌳 Forest managers and owners
🌱 Forest nursery actors (seed collectors, nurseries, traders)
🛡️ Biodiversity & nature conservation organisations
🏛️ Policymakers (local, national, and EU level)
🎓 Academic and research institutions
🏭 Forestry and forest-based industries
🌐 Networks and associations (e.g. EUFORGEN, IUFRO, IFSA)
👥 The general public & rural communities
If your work or interests involve European forests, this space is built for you.

Stakeholder Survey
As part of the OptFORESTS project, a stakeholder survey on forest genetic resources and reproductive material is now available.
This study uses three slightly different versions of the survey. You can choose one (or more) that you feel is most suitable for you.
👉 Forest genetic resources (Choose this especially if you have strategic or scientific expertise on genetic diversity and their conservation)
https://survey.alchemer.eu/s3/90923207/OptFORESTS-Forest-Genetic-Resources-Survey
👉 Forest reproductive material (Choose this especially if you have operational or regulatory expertise on the production and use of reproductive material)
https://survey.alchemer.eu/s3/90878756/OptFORESTS-Forest-Reproductive-Material-Survey
👉 General stakeholder (Choose this if you deal with policy, management, or societal perspectives on forest resilience and sustainability)
https://survey.alchemer.eu/s3/90879599/OptFORESTS-General-Survey
You may reply in following languages. You can change the language in the upper right corner of the survey.
Dansk (da), English (en), Español (es), Français (fr), Italiano (it), Norsk (no), Română (ro), Slovenščina (sl), Suomi (fi)
The survey takes about 45 minutes. All responses are anonymous and used only for research purposes under GDPR.
