Traditionally, the research on wood and fibres at Innventia used to emphasise a pulp and paper perspective. However, the methods, competences and data developed have proven to be very useful also in other fields of research and development. Innventia is now active in a broad spectrum of projects, including sawn products, forestry, genetics and tree breeding, effects of climate change, sustainability, morphology, growth processes, research related to different tree species in many countries, in natural forests, fast-growing plantations and experiments.

 

These project are generally joint projects, managed by researchers of a university, institute or company with high expertice in the specific field. It also happens that Innventia is asked to join a project to strengthen it with expertice on our specialties.

 

Different forms of cooperation have been applied from case to case: from equal partnership to supplier of measuremnt services. Very often Innventia analyses samples and uses its existing tools for a first step of the data evaluation, allowing the partners to continue from a ”served table”. When many samples are involved, researchers of our partners have been trained to do part of the work in the Measurement Centre.

 

Innventia is very experienced in large-scale international projects. It has for instance participated in more than 30 EU projects and coordinated 10.

 

Many researchers have based their theses and publications on data and results from such cooperation, and are now doing so. Innventia is most interested in discussing further joint projects and cooperation.
