Most of the forest area within the Pyrenees has steep slopes and poor infrastructure. This situation handicaps the profitability of the forestry works. The business on the sector is low and the consumption depends much on the imports. iForWood is an innovative project that has the aim to increase the value of the forest products. Its purpose is to help to increase the profitability of the forest works, the improvement of the competitiveness and the productivity of the Pyrenean sawmills. This will be done through cooperation on R+D+i. The specific objectives are: - To train and to inform the professionals, foresters and wood technicians on new tools, marketing formulas, wood products and their applications. - To incorporate new tools, techniques and methods on the forest works and also on the selling of timber of the Pyrenees. - To improve and innovate on the transformation and commercialization processes of the Pyrenean wood products. The project is divided into 5 actions: 0. Draft preparation. 1. Project management. 2. Communication activities. 3. Development of new instruments related to the knowledge of the forest resources of the Pyrenees to improve the mobilization of timber and the selling of wood. 4. Innovative pilot projects in wood processing for increasing the value of the wood products from the Pyrenees. (English)
