Task 1 Solicitation of research issues


Participants: Researchers
Closed


Welcome to the generation of 1-3 research issues that you think are suitable for internationally co-funded research activities on wood material science and related sciences.

For each issue, please provide the following information:

You are invited to describe a maximum of three research issues, one at a time. Each time, please first click on the relevant sub-area in order to position your theme. If you do not find a suitable sub-area, you may select "other research areas" (the last one). Each time you are also asked to identify yourself, thus you can submit one research issue at a time and return again later to submit other issues as you wish.
