Forests in Transition

Join the IUFRO conversation in Padua

How can we shape forest landscapes that are resilient, inclusive and ready for the challenges ahead?

Join the University of Padua, Italy, on 9–11 February 2027 for the IUFRO International Conference “Forests in Transition: Integrating Policy, Innovation, and Inclusion for Resilient Landscapes”.

Bringing together researchers, policymakers, practitioners and other forest stakeholders, the conference will explore how better policy integration, social innovation and inclusive governance can help address the complex social, ecological and economic changes shaping our forests.

Expect fresh perspectives, inspiring discussions and opportunities to exchange ideas across disciplines and sectors. An online poster session will also offer the opportunity to contribute and connect remotely.

Do you have relevant research or experiences to share?

Abstract submission deadline: 30 November 2026, submit your abstract via the official IUFRO conference page
