The Forest-based Sector Technology Platform (FTP) is a joint initiative of the European forest-based sector and was established in 2005, based on the impetus and encouragement of the European Commission. Its overall aim is to promote joint European cooperation on research and innovation.
The platform undertakes a range of activities to help meet its ambitions. FTP acts as facilitator of research and innovation networking, as well as of specific programmes and projects. FTP management acts as an important source of information regarding funding programmes, policy, ongoing research, and so forth. Tools such as the platform’s website and other publications are utilised for disseminating information to its relevant stakeholders, both within and outside of the forest-based sector. Collaboration with the European Commission, other international and national funding organisations, as well as with other European technology platforms is a fundamental part of its activity.
