Ås meeting, Norway
October 10, 2023
Reflecting on a productive meeting in Ås, Norway at NIBIO Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research for the BarkBuild project! 🌲
We kicked off our day with an insightful lab tour, exploring the cutting-edge facilities for wood impregnation and conditioning. It's incredible to witness the potential of wood science in action.
During the meeting, we made some key decisions regarding the progress of work packages, milestones, and upcoming publications. The collaboration and dedication of the team are truly impressive.
Exciting times ahead as we continue to push the boundaries of wood science and engineering!
InnoRenew CoE hosted the BarkBuild general assembly meeting
April 13-14, 2023
Dr. Matthew Schwarzkopf, InnoRenew CoE researcher, hosted project partners at the InnoRenew CoE for a 2-day BarkBuild general assembly meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was to review progress during the first project year, check the status of different activities, and discuss ways forward to achieve the project goals. Progress across all work packages was discussed with presentations of prior, ongoing and planned work.
Participants had also the opportunity to tour the InnoRenew CoE building and research laboratories.
1st Industrial Advisory Board Meeting
November 21, 2022
Inaugural IAB meeting was held online on Monday 21 November, 2022. Industry representatives from Holmen, Koskisen, Latvijas Finieris and Lumir gave valuable steering for the project. The project partners and IAB members share many of the ambitions and are committed to developing sustainable bio-based wood building materials based on bark. Exciting times ahead as the laboratory research is starting to bring interesting results across several work packages. Stay tuned for more!
