ERA-Nets WoodWisdom-Net

The aim of the WoodWisdom-Net project is to develop collaboration between the European forestry sector and forest-based industry, the wood material research community and funding organizations by integrating research resources in different countries. Promoting the development of innovative forest-based products, processes and services, the collaboration will benefit Europe's citizens and strengthen the competitiveness of Europe's forest sector and forest-based industry.

The WoodWisdom-Net project, "Networking and integration of national programmes in the area of wood material science and engineering" (2004-2007), is designed to prepare and launch a joint, European Research and Technical Development (RTD) programme with common funding and administration in the year 2007.

The European collaboration in the WoodWisdom-Net project arises from the Finnish Forest Cluster Research Programme Wood Wisdom (1998-2001) and from the Finnish-Swedish co-funded Wood Material Science Research Programme (2003-2006).
