WoodWisdom-Net Towards a common strategic research direction Competitiveness from sustainable and innovative forest-based products, processes and services Leena Paavilainen Programme Director, D.Sc.(Tech.) Wood Material Science Programme, Centre of Expertise for Wood Products, Project Manager WoodWisdom-Net, Networking and integrating the national research activities in the area of wood material science and engineering

European forest research - outlook for the future Brussels2 ERA-NETERA-NET is a spesific programme in the EU´s 6th FP strenghtening the foundations of the ERA To step up the cooperation and coordination of national or regional research activities through networking of programmes including their mutual opening and the development and implementation of joint activities partners are programme owners such as ministries and research councils, in some cases programme management organizations or coordination bodies

European forest research - outlook for the future Brussels3 The objective of WoodWisdom-Net is to network and integrate the national research activities in the area of wood material science and engineering in order to enhance the efficiency of programme management and optimise the use of research funds create a common research platform that will promote the competitiveness and sustainability of European forestry and forest-based industry The final goal of the WoodWisdom-Net project is to prepare and implement a joint programme launch a joint call of a transnational programme in the year 2007

European forest research - outlook for the future Brussels4 Human knowledge and competence are fundamental for the forest clusters future success How to keep the Forest Cluster competitive? Investments in people and know-how new innovative, sustainable products and processes New business opportunities building co-operation e.g. with ICT and biotechnology Joining the forces to strengthen the innovation system in the European forest cluster and promoting knowledge and technology transfer in order to transform the R&D investments into a competitive egde for the cluster.

European forest research - outlook for the future Brussels5 Multidiciplinary research in wood material science promotes the forest cluster´s competitiveness Wood material research plays key role in developing innovative, cost-competitive, eco-efficient products, processes and services, e.g. radically reduce the use of raw material in fibre and wood products create new functionalities for wood-based products improving wood and fibre properties Multidisciplinary research is essential in the forest cluster - besides conventional technologies and material science also biotechnology and ICT knowledge are vital for innovations.

Competitive and sustainable forestry and forest-based industry New innovative, eco-efficient cost competitive products, processes and services Wood Wisdom –Net, Common research platform with optimized use of research funds, Transnational programme Finnish-Swedish Wood Material Science Programme knowledgebase National programmes with specific goals

European forest research - outlook for the future Brussels7 Finnish-Swedish Wood Material Science and Engineering programme promotes the development of innovative, eco-efficient, cost-competitive products, processes and services Sub-programme 1, basic research module on generates new strategic knowledge about the material properties of wood and the means how to affect them Sub-programme 2, Innovation-targeted Research and Development Module focuses on modification and processing of wood raw material into innovative, eco-efficient products
