Cross-Border Expertise for
Advisory Modernisation

The Thematic Working Groups (TWGs) are transnational expert groups established to address key thematic areas relevant to forestry advisory systems across EU member states.

What the Working Groups Do

While National Networks are geographically structured, TWGs are topic-driven and bring together expertise from multiple EU countries. The TWGs:

  • Analyse thematic challenges across countries
  • Compare advisory approaches and governance models
  • Exchange good practices
  • Identify innovation pathways
  • Develop recommendations and guidance
  • Contribute to policy-relevant outputs

How TWGs Operate:

  • Foster cross‑border and European‑level knowledge exchange
  • Address key forest management challenges and advisory needs
  • Address gaps identified by National & Regional Networks
  • Define concrete objectives and activity roadmaps for each TWG
  • Collect, review, and curate good practices and ready‑to‑use knowledge
  • Feed results back to national level

Knowledge Sharing and Advisory Pilots

The priorities identified by the Thematic Working Groups guide FORADVISE’s knowledge-sharing activities. Through workshops, thematic exchanges and Knowledge Transfer Pilots, advisors explore practical approaches and their application in different contexts.

Connecting Local Needs with European Expertise

The interaction between National Networks and TWGs ensures that local challenges are elevated to European discussions, while European insights are grounded in practical realities.
Together, they form the backbone of the FORADVISE Network.
