Africa’s Youth take on responsibility for the Continent’s Forests
Africa’s young population plays an increasingly important role in sustainably managing the continent’s forests. New initiatives and workshops in Kenya and Cameroon, show how local knowledge, digital tools and entrepreneurship contributes to a sustainable forestry and green economy.
People and forests as resources
We bring together broad expertise in engineering, natural sciences and social sciences. By integrating interdisciplinary perspectives, we conduct research spanning the entire forest value chain, and explore how raw materials, materials, processes, and systems can be developed to contribute to the sustainable development of forest resources and a circular bioeconomy. The Department is located on campuses in both Umeå and Uppsala.
Education on all levels
Teaching is a major part of our work. Through our programs and courses within forest economics, production and processing, we educate key players for a sustainable future.
Laboratories and pilot facilities
In our laboratories and pilot facilities in Sweden we do cutting-edge research into wood technology and biomass. Learn more about the work, the machines and the collaborations within in the facilities.
Collaboration
Our work takes us around the world through national and international colleagues and collaborations. Together with our networks, we explore how forest resources are used and can be used sustainably across the globe.
