stands for EVOLution of TREEs as drivers of terrestrial biodiversity. It is a network of excellence that was launched and financially supported by the European Union within the 6th framework programme in April 2006. The network has been extended under the umbrella of the EFI network.

The new consortium is now made up of 23 research groups in 13 European countries.
