WWSC Academy
WWSC Academy is a graduate student school with two, week long, courses per year with the aim to facilitate for collaborations and to close the gap between academic research and industry.
In this academy, the students get an overview of the research field within renewable materials from wood and gain knowledge of topics not directly connected to their current research. During the academy the student will connect with each other to nurture future collaborations and meet industry on site visits to get an overview of the Swedish forest industry.
WWSC Academy is since 2019 open for PhD students from other research projects and universities via Treesearch. Read more at treesearch.se.
