The establishment of a new EUCARPIA working group on “Forest” was approved by the last General Assembly (Valencia, Spain, 10 Sept. 2008). This working group fills a gap existing in the present sections of EUCARPIA.

The chairman of this new working group is Dr. Luc E. Pàques (Luc.Paques@orleans.inra.fr) and the vice-chairman is Dr. Ricardo Alía (alia@inia.es).
