<\/a>Previous and continued research cooperation between the research centres involved in the current project has been developing during the last 10 years, as several joint publications, projects and exchanges demonstrate. On the one hand, the international laboratory LIA MONTABOR between the CMEB and the CEF works towards the understanding of the past, presentand future of boreal and mountain forests. On the other hand, the collaboration protocol between the CTFC, the CREAF and the CEF was conceived as a first step in the search of a lasting cooperation between partners. Moreover, during the recent VII meeting of the Quebec\u2013Catalunya Cooperation Mixed Committee (Barcelona, 2012), collaboration between the CTFC, the CREAF and the CEF was settled as a priority sector between both governments. The present IRSES project aims to generate a basis\u00a0for sustainable cooperation even after the project duration, principally by two different but complementing strategies.\u00a0
