The industrial graduate school Resource-smart Processes is an initiative to further develop today’s processes in the forest-, textile- and chemical industries through better use of bio-based raw materials.
Resource-smart Processes aims at strengthening the competitiveness of the Swedish industry through new research results, new competence through education and rejuvenation, and to expand professional networks in industry and academia.
The graduate school is a national initiative and is funded by participating industry, academia and Vinnova through the strategic innovation program BioInnovation. The initiative is coordinated by Chalmers, KTH and the research platform Treesearch.
