Abstract
The present paper is the report of a study travel carried out in Albania in May 2009, which was financed by a Short Term Mobility Program of the Italian National Council of Research (CNR). During the stay, a scientific collaboration was established between the Institute of Agro-environmental and Forest Biology - CNR and the Agricultural University of Tirana and several formal and informal meetings and interviews were arranged with different stakeholders involved in forestry and agroforestry sectors. Bibliographic materials were also collected and analysed. The specific aim of the paper is to highlight some research themes and priorities that could be implemented through specific projects and programmes.
