InnovaWood and UNECE/FAO seminar on innovation in the Forest-Based Sector
The forest sector is expected to play a leading role in the transition towards a green economy.
Today the wood is being used in many ways, from beauty products, gels for back pain, hip replacement material, and spacecraft to active sustainable wooden buildings. Such extensive use brought the wood into centre of the many innovative processes, creating the new products and markets.

RTDI Creativity Workshop on Societal challenges for the Forest-wood sector
The InnovaWood RTDI Division organized the Creativity Workshop on Societal challenges for the Forest-wood sector. The workshop took place as part of the three days General Assembly events programme. This event aimed to define potential research, development and innovation opportunities created by the grand societal challenges in Europe for the InnovaWood sector.
The event started with an introduction to specific topics concerning the social challenges provided by key note speakers. The introduction was followed by a brainstorm session between the participants. This brainstorm workshop was organised in a way that the discussions start from the specific challenges and not from the sector’s point of view on the future in order to have the discussion as broad as possible and not be biased by existing assumptions from the sector. By thinking out of the box, new challenging opportunities for the future were defined and the development of strategies to tackle the forecasted challenges was initiated.
