The main objective of the entire course is to disseminate knowledge concerning wood material and technology, i.e.,
• wood structure and properties with a special emphasis on wood durability
• wood supply and processing chain from the forest to the sawmill inclusively
• wood engineering, products and their utilisation
• wood products marketing
The field of wood products and technology is always related to extending the student's knowledge of wood as a material, and applying this knowledge to the manufacture of useful products. It requires deeper knowledge of the biological, chemical, physical, and engineering sciences and how they interact and serve the technology of wood products. The PhD course dedicated to wood technology is of strategic importance for the wood science and forest industry in the Nordic and Baltic countries and North-West Russia providing an emphasis on wood and its technology from the forest to the final products, markets and, respectively, customers.
