International Congress on Cork Oak Trees and Woodlands - Conservation, Management, Products and Challenges for the Future

The Congress is intended as a forum for sharing Mediterranean experiences in the cork industry: from the conservation and sustainable management of cork forests to the aspects of industrial processes and alternative uses to cork stopper production. The Congress is held in Sardinia, an island in the centre of the Western Mediterranean, where many rural landscapes are characterised by cork trees, which thus have environmental and economic value, and, hence also social value.
