CoLAB ForestWISE celebrated its sixth anniversary with an Open Day attended by the Secretary of State for the Economy and the President of the Recovering Portugal Mission Structure.
This initiative made it possible to present the ‘main products and services developed by this Collaborative Laboratory over the last six years, whose main objective is to promote innovation, sustainability and knowledge transfer in the forestry sector.’
CoLAB ForestWISE, which is part of the Transform Mobilising Agenda, also has PRR support as part of the interface mission, which aims to further expand and consolidate the network of interface institutions between the academic, scientific and technological system and the Portuguese business community, guaranteeing the necessary support to boost their impact in promoting investment in R&D and innovative investment in companies, specifically in terms of their export potential.
During the event it was possible to watch live demonstrations by the CoLAB Forest and Fire team, see a showcase of services and products, as well as address pressing issues such as the valorisation and digitalisation of the forest, fire defence strategies, bioeconomy and participatory processes for integrated forest and fire management.
