NORDIC - BALTIC NETWORK ON
WOOD MATERIAL SCIENCE AND
ENGINEERING
The network cover the wood science & technology field e.g.:
• resources available
• wood-water relations
• wood durability
• wood modification
• wood mechanics
• wood composites
• engineered wood products
• eco-efficient wood based products and wood engineering
• marketing
• application of the wood material science to the design of buildings,
5
furniture etc. and to conversion and machining of wood
Progression
• 2005: Application for NcoE
• 2010: Application for CAR
