Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The first ERA-NET on wood material science and engineering, WoodWisdom-Net started in 2004 with 12 partners from 5 countries. In 2006 the network expanded with 6 partners (3 new countries). As a main result, late 2006 the first joint Transnational Research Programme (2006-11) with 17 projects of a total volume of over 20 M€ was launched. WoodWisdom-Net 2 with 19 partners from 12 countries aims at deepening and strengthening the transnational cooperation based on experiences and existing cooperation structures, procedures and mechanisms but also on variable geometry approach (organisations from new partner countries) for broadening the network activities and EU impact. Based on learning and streamlining the core of joint activities is further development of the WW-Net Research Programme and evolution of the network towards a common research and funding platform for sustained cooperation. The overall objective is to promote the transformation of the European forest-based industry from resource-intensive to value-added knowledge-intensive industry based on sustainable use of renewable raw materials. This is to be reached by: - creating and establishing a common research and funding platform for long-lasting cooperation by deepening and broadening cooperation, and strengthening the ongoing WW-Net Research Programme to cover the whole innovation chain from science to business by launching new calls, reinforcing industrial involvement and developing management of a transnational programme - assisting in development of innovative, eco-efficient processes, products and services along forest-based value chains – promoting competitiveness - promoting utilization of decisive knowledge for new applications at a crossroads between different technologies and disciplines - transformation of F-BI from traditional separate value chain industry to optimized multiple value industry addressing to customer needs, reduced resource consumption, and increased value creation.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Sustainable forest practices could help save our planet, yet this vision requires strong EU funding to support the best, most innovative projects in the sector.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The European forest-based industry is becoming more sustainable overall and providing a variety of eco-friendly solutions to environmentally conscious consumers. However, to ensure that the sector's sustainability flourishes, it is vital to strengthen relevant business models or value chains by ensuring that the smartest industry projects are properly funded. The EU-funded project Woodwisdom-NET2) set out to realise this objective.
Primarily, the project helped steer the European forest-based industry from a resource-intensive one to a competitive, innovative, value added and knowledge driven one based on using renewable raw materials. It launched two calls for EU-funded project proposals that propelled the industry to new heights.
Under the banner of 'Sustainable, competitive processing and end-use concepts for forest-based industries', the first call encouraged projects on applied research and development that brought the research community closer to product development. This resulted in funding of 9 projects with a total worth of EUR 13 million.
The second equally important call was titled 'Sustainable forest management and optimised use of ligno-cellulosic resources - Bridging gaps between research disciplines, producers, consumers and society'. It aimed to improve the use of trees and forests through innovative research and cooperation, and selected 13 projects for funding with a total of EUR 21 million.
Beyond these key initiatives, which funded the best and most promising projects in the industry, the project team upgraded the EU strategy for the forest-based sector on a global scale. It achieved this through the EU mechanism for strengthening non-EU entities to work with EU-led projects under the European Research Area's ERA-NET+ scheme. This is likely to positively affect the forestry sector and wood-related industries around the globe, fostering sustainable practices and encouraging foreign countries to adopt environmentally friendly practices.
