WoodWisdom-Net

The European collaboration in the WoodWisdom-Net project goes back to the Finnish Forest Cluster Research Programme Wood Wisdom (1998–2001) and its expansion to the Finnish-Swedish co-funded Wood Material Science Research Programme (2003–2007), the funding agencies of which also participate in the WoodWisdom-Net project.

The ERA-NET project WoodWisdom-Net (Networking and Integration of National Programmes in the Area of Wood Material Science) started at the beginning of 2004 and ended in 2008. The project comprised eight organisations from 18 countries, with a total budget of some EUR 2.2 million.

WoodWisdom-Net deepened collaboration between the European funding agencies in the field of wood material science with the aim to coordinate the use of research funding, to integrate research resources from different countries and to combine research resources in different countries to promote the competitiveness and sustainable development of the European forest cluster. The project funded 17 projects in 2006–2011.
