About Suprowood

The main objective of this project was to connect German and Czech research institutions and companies with a focus on renewable raw materials, wood technology, process engineering and bioenergy. Successful networking and new joint research structures were the outcomes of the project. Intense collaboration of German and Czech researchers and junior scientists enabled the achievement of research results. As a basis for further cooperation the partners developed ideas and submitted a joint application for financial support under IraSME program of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy.
