More about the project
The forest-based industry plays a crucial role in the green transition. However, achieving a fossil-free production chain, and possibilities to create circular material flows requires interdisciplinary research, industry collaboration, and educational efforts. This project aligns with the Linnaeus Knowledge Environment’s objectives by integrating research, education, and extension activities in sustainable development.
This project will activate societal and industrial partners and with a research-based approach create activities to maintain the network, facilitate meeting, workshops and conduct interviews with stakeholders.
The project will lead the work towards larger funding applications in 2026.
The seed project is part of the research in the Forest Economics research group and in the Linnaeus Knowledge Environment: Green Sustainable Development.
What is a seed project?
A seed project is a minor project funded by a knowledge environment or a research group at the university. The aim is to launch and promote excellent research. Depending on the financier, a seed project may be to idenfify new or deepen existing collaborations, preferably cross-disciplinary ones, to explore possible research issues in a feasibility study, to collect empirical material, or to write an application for external funding.
