Doctoral student and postdoc projects within the Treesearch call 2017

In the autumn of 2017, Vinnova opened Treesearch’s and BioInnovation’s first Research studies in collaboration with the industry. The call supported doctoral or postdoctoral projects that aimed at developing new materials, conducted in collaboration with industries.

In total 11 doctoral and postdoctoral projects were supported, that are listed below. Click on the respective project title to read more about the project on Treesearch’s website. The results from the projects were presented during the first day of Treesearch Progress 2020 online edition. You find presentations from some of the projects on the conference website.
