FCBA can contribute expertise in:
• Regional forest resource modelling and multi-criteria optimisation, building upon existing modelling frameworks developed for strategic forest planning.
• Integration of biodiversity, ecosystem service and environmental indicators into forest resource allocation and management scenarios.
• Assessment of trade-offs between wood mobilisation, biodiversity conservation, carbon storage and economic performance.
• Economic analysis of disturbances and crises, including the impacts of storms, droughts, pest outbreaks, market disruptions and policy changes on forest value chains.
• Development of decision-support tools to enhance value chain resilience under uncertainty.

FCBA is particularly interested in projects combining modelling, economics and environmental assessment to support strategic adaptation of forest-based sectors.

FCBA (Institut Technologique Forêt Cellulose Bois-construction Ameublement) is the French technical institute dedicated to the forest-based sector, covering the entire value chain from forest resources and silviculture to wood products, construction and circular bioeconomy. FCBA combines applied research, innovation, modelling, testing, standardisation and technology transfer to support sustainable forest management, climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation and the competitiveness of forest-based industries.
