The first industrial experiment: a study on sustainable […]
Take the opportunity to become a part of WWSC Academy
The graduate school has since the start of WWSC been a vital part of the center. With the start of the first course in October the next phase of the graduate school begins, and with that the education of a new generation of PhD students. ”We want to prepare you to become next-generation scientists, inventors, […]
Treesearch Bootcamp – a unique intensive course for academia and industry
A course for increasing the knowledge about the industry and the core processes of the forest industry: that’s the idea behind the Treesearch’s Bootcamp course. Over a few intensive weeks (hence the name Bootcamp), participants gain both theoretical and practical knowledge about the forest industry’s processes. “Bootcamp is a unique course, made for you who […]
Treesearch Insight 2023 Lund – world-class research infrastructure
The first day was dedicated to the equipment available at Lund University of Technology, specifically the Biomass Steam Pretreatment facility, the 4D Imaging Lab, and nCHERM – National Center for High-Resolution Electron Microscopy. After a joint introduction, all conference participants received a guided tour of the infrastructures with the opportunity to ask the researchers questions. In […]
Treesearch host organisation for Boreal Alliance in 2023
The members of Boreal Alliance do, despite their geographical distance, face similar conditions when it comes to translating forest-based materials science into new sustainable innovations. Promoting collaboration of research on materials from the forest and its application on an international level is thus the Alliance’s joint mission since its start in 2020. Treesearch became the Swedish […]
First industrial experiments at ForMAX
The beamline ForMAX at MAX IV hosts its first industry experiment: a ground-breaking study on fibre-based sustainable food packaging performed by Tetra Pak and researchers at Chalmers University.
The beamline ForMAX is opening for experiments
ForMAX is specially designed for advanced studies on materials from the forest and is an initiative of several major players who have joined forces. The research station consists of a beamline where synchrotron X-ray light will be used to study the materials at the nano level up to the millimeter level. The construction of the […]
Resource-Smart Processes – an investment for the future for the bio-based industry
At bioinnovation.se you can now read more about the graduate school and examples of ongoing projects. The research projects will contribute to increased knowledge about the fiber line, paper and board processes, chemical recycling and completely new process concepts in the forest, textile and chemical industries and also contribute to the supply of competence in the process […]
From fundamental research to pilot scale – the material that can replace polystyrene foam
Professor Lars Wågberg tells kth.se about the first steps and the research that led to a foam material, by then made of nanocellulose. The first steps were a doctoral thesis within the research center Wallenberg Wood Science Center and in 2012, doctoral student Nicholas Cervin was able to present his thesis. – It turned out […]
Monica Ek is awarded the Ekman Medal
Monica Ek, professor at KTH, is awarded the 2021 Ekman Medal for her contributions to research, education and collaboration in the forest industry-related research. The motivation, announced at the Ekmandagarna 2022 conference, included Monica Ek’s achievements as academic researcher and innovator in the field of biorefinery with the valorisation of residues from forestry, such as […]
KAW is expanding the investment in Wallenberg Wood Science Center
The expanded investment in WWSC is part of the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation’s major investment in sustainable materials. The continuation of WWSC now receives SEK 380 million from the foundation for its research on the forest-based materials of the future.
