In support of its members IUFRO is not raising any membership fees in 2026

As international cooperation in forest science is now more important than ever and to reinforce our shared efforts and foster strong engagement in IUFRO in these challenging times IUFRO has purposefully decided against a routine increase in membership fees for 2026. Our members are the backbone of this organization, and this decision reflects our deep appreciation and recognition of their essential contribution to forests, science and people.

In our new Season 3 of Branching out: the forest podcast, we explore how scientists collaborate across disciplines to tackle emerging topics. This work happens through IUFRO Task Forces. We kick off the Season with the topic of bioeconomy and the Task Force on Building an Integrated Vision of the Forest-Based Sector within a Bioeconomy.

Host Gerda Wolfrum and co-host Fernanda Gonzalez from IUFRO HQ spoke with Ivana Živojinović, a senior scientist at BOKU University in Vienna (Institute of Forest, Environmental and Natural Resource Policy and the Center for Bioeconomy), and Ricardo Vargas Carpintero, who recently completed his PhD at the University of Hohenheim, Germany and is now based in Colombia. They shared their insights on how the forest-based sector can contribute to a bioeconomy.
