Centre for Wood Materials and Structures

Wood is becoming a pivotal element in the bioeconomy, especially in the construction industry, where it has the potential to be used as a more sustainable alternative to other building materials. As a renewable resource, wood reduces carbon footprints and plays a critical role in addressing climate change through innovative wood materials that enable the creation of more sustainable buildings. The Centre for Wood Materials and Structures (CWS) focuses on developing the full potential of wood and optimizing its use to foster both environmental sustainability and economic value.
The Centre for Wood Materials and Structures (CWS) invites you to join us in overcoming challenges related to processes and materials.
