We have moved out!
We are since January 1st, 2026, part of the Department of Forest Bioeconomy and Technology. Meet us there, this page will cease to exist on April 1st, 2026.
Forest technology division
The research field includes scientific theories and methods for studying and developing forest operation work processes, machinery and tools as well as human work to perform different actions. This means that energy requirements, work effort, environmental issues, environmental impact, utilization of raw materials and quality of performance, as well as economy and work environment, are taken into account, not least from a systems perspective. Some important areas of development include robotics, sustainable technology, bioenergy systems and logistics.
