Trees4Future is an Integrative European Research Infrastructure project that aimed to integrate, develop and improve major forest genetics and forestry research infrastructures. It provides the wider European forestry research community with easy and comprehensive access to currently scattered sources of information (including genetic databanks, forest modelling tools and wood technology labs) and expertise.

This will help forestry researchers and the European forestry sector to respond, in a sustainable manner, to increasing demands for wood products and services in a context of genetic adaptation and changing climatic conditions. The project objective was to create a new and better linked research infrastructure which should increase our knowledge about the adaptation of forests to climate change and tree characteristics suited for tailor-made wood supply - thus optimising the short- and long-term exploitation of forest resources.
