5th European Wool Forum
30.10.2026 von 10:00 – 14:00 Uhr (CET) | Online, in English

The 5th European Wool Forum will focus on the recently published results of the EU CAP Network Focus Group 57 (FG57) on “Innovative and sustainable ways to strengthen the role of farmers and revitalise European wool.”

FG57 experts will present key findings from the Final Report and the six Mini Papers, highlighting challenges, opportunities and recommendations for the future of European wool. After an overview of the main findings, the Mini Papers will be introduced in short pitches in three thematic sessions, each followed by a moderated discussion with the participants:

Session 1: State of play of the European wool sector
Session 2: A better market: certification, traceability, marketing and regulation
Session 3: Practical action: cooperation, collection, education and innovative uses

A central part of the Forum will be an expert and stakeholder Round Table, with plenty of time dedicated to open discussion, questions and exchange with participants. The aim is not only to present the results of FG57, but to discuss what they mean in practice, hear different perspectives from across Europe and agree on priorities and next steps, so that the recommendations can be translated into cooperation and action.

Organised by the European Wool Association (EWA), the Forum will bring together people from across the European wool value chain to exchange knowledge, make connections and discuss the next steps for European wool.

The Forum is open to all interested participants. Registration is obligatory: please scan the QR code to register.
