The need for coordinated international actions and a more comprehensive management framework also recognizing the social dimension of forest disturbances is growing. \nTherefore\, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and FOREST EUROPE are organizing a joint workshop in order to exchange knowledge on the best practices and allow for the adoption and transfer of innovative solutions while establishing cooperation and strong partnerships across pan-Europe to prevent and better control biotic threats such as bark beetle outbreaks. \nThe workshop is part of FOREST EUROPE’s work towards the implementation of a pan-European Forest Risk Knowledge Facility (FoRISK) to support forest’s adaptation to changing climatic and site conditions as well as to enhance the resilience and mitigation potential of forests at a pan-European level. \nCheck here the programme of the workshop. \n\nPreliminary Agenda \nThis joint workshop is scheduled to take place from May 30 to June 1 2023 in Breznice\, Czech Republic\, and will be hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic. \n30 May 2023\n–  Arrival of Participants \n–  Transfer to the venue from Prague airport/city center \n–  Small refreshment \n–  Seminar and discussion \n–  Welcome dinner \n31 May 2023\n–  Seminar and discussion \n–  Lunch \n–  Excursion \n–  Dinner \n01 June 2023\n–  Wrap up session \n–  Lunch \n–  Transfer to Prague Airport with an estimated arrival at 14:30.
