Research and education
Some years ago, the research was mainly targeted at forest industry and at pulp and 
paper. The research later expanded to all possible uses of biomass, in an attempt to get 
the most value out of the biomass and view the whole value chain. In parallel, the 
modification of the Master’s programme from “Forest Products” to “Bioproducts” 
led to a marked increase in the quality of the students applying.
The research is structured around a number of subtopics (biorefineries, new 
materials, fibre/paper products, fibre/wood products, environmental management).
