2nd Consultation on a new European Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda for the forest-based sector 2030
Following the launch of the sector’s Vision 2040 in November 2018, the forest-based sector is renewing its Strategic Research Agenda (SRA), to provide a roadmap to achieve the 10 Vision Targets that this document sets out.
The FTP SRA Editing Team has drawn up a proposal setting out the steps (Challenges) that could be taken to achieve the Targets. In order for these Challenges to be overcome, a series of research and innovation activities (RIAs) have been proposed. The structure can be illustrated with the following example:

SRA 2030 Research & Innovation Activities (RIAs)
The Vision 2040 is FTP’s core document and sets out the long-term ambitions of the forest-based sector. Launched in 2018, it sets out 10 Vision Targets; the new SRA 2030 aims to provide the steps needed to reach these Targets.
Vision 2040 of the Forest-based Sector
The FTP Strategic & Research Agenda 2020 has provided the roadmap for research and innovation activities since 2013, based on 19 Research & Innovation Areas (RIAs). The SRA 2030 should reflect ongoing RIAs which are still required, and include new Research & Innovation Areas which are now a priority.
In order to deal with upcoming megatrends and EU policy development up to 2040, the SRA 2030 could define a scenario for which the forest-based sector can aim its research and innovation activities.
