Description

The underlying concept of the InnoRenew project is to develop and operate a new Centre of Excellence, the InnoRenew CoE, that will conduct cutting edge scientific research related to renewable materials utilisation, develop industrially relevant applications of scientific developments and innovations, support businesses in their implementation of RDI activities and outcomes, and liaise with policy makers to direct more support to companies and research in the forest sector. The InnoRenew CoE’s activities will be centred on two key distinguishing technologies that set it apart from other institutions:

  • Wood modification,
  • Restorative environmental and ergonomic design (REED).
