Overview
The Laboratory of Applied Chemistry was founded in 1993 for the development of 
applied natural sciences. The main mission of the unit was to promote the sustainable 
and versatile use of wood as valuable products in cooperation with the Finnish forest 
cluster. The unit has a staff of two professors, one lecturer, three graduates and three 
laboratory technicians. No administrative support is available. The unit produces a 
significant number of Master’s students who readily find employment. During the

with 13 licentiate degrees. The unit’s budget consists of core funding (43%) and
