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, and engineers that will meet tomorrow´s need in the Swedish forest value chain,” says Anette Larsson, Director of WWSC Academy.
Together with the deputy directors Lauren McKee and Igor Zozoulenko, a course program that covers everything from characterization techniques to organic electronics has been presented. New for this batch of WWSC Academy is the possibility of having optional modules in some of the courses, making the courses even more relevant for the participants.
“We are really looking forward to meeting all of you new PhD students and welcoming you to the first course that will give you an introduction to the field and the center,” says Anette Larsson.
