Striving for Sophisticated People- and Environmental-Friendly Use of Forest Resources

This specialised area covers research on the advanced use of biomaterials, especially wood products. The research topics include advanced physical and chemical utilization of forest bioresources and highly organized engineering of forest-related environmental issues. All of this research is done with the goal of realizing the coexistence of an affluent society with the preservation of the global environment, thus requiring the wide-ranging education we offer.
