The Northern European Network for Wood Science & Engineering was set up in 2004 and currently involves 10 partner countries.
The network is supported by SNS Nordic Forest Research funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
Aim
The aim of the network is to contribute to the optimization of the resources spent individually and by society on research projects within wood science and engineering in “The Forest Bioeconomy Network” area. The goal is to coordinate Northern European research in this field by maintaining a network between senior researchers, PhD students and industrial representatives.
A network board consisting of one representative from each participating country is established.
