Of Interest: 5th Annual European Wool Forum – Online – this Friday


The 5th European Wool Association (EWA) forum is this week.

How can we revitalise European wool and strengthen the role of farmers? Join the European Wool Association to hear the results and recommendations of EU CAP Network Focus Group 57 (FG57), “Innovative and sustainable ways to strengthen the role of farmers in revitalising the European wool value chain”, and discuss what they mean in practice.

When: Friday, the 30th of October 2026; 10:00 – 14:00 CET (An hour earlier for folks in Ireland)
Online, in English.

What to expect:

  • Overview of the main FG57 findings and recommendations
  • Six Mini Paper pitches in three sessions, each followed by a moderated discussion
  • A Round Table on joint priorities and next steps, with plenty of time for your questions and ideas.

The Forum is open to everyone who cares about European wool: farmers, processors, researchers, designers, organisations, and wool lovers.
