Mediterranean Wood Chemistry Lab
A joint research and transfer unit between the Forest Science and Technology Centre of Catalonia (CTFC) and Universitat de Lleida (UdL) aimed to promote the development of biorefineries and bioproducts from Mediterranean agroforest ecosystems.
Specific objectives
- To develop, implement and integrate innovative added value agroforest bioproducts, research-based approaches and methodologies.
- To offer a dynamic environment for open collaborative innovation and for the creation of synergies among different stakeholders in the implementation of biorefineries from Mediterranean ecosystems.
- To promote interdisciplinary training and facilitate the exchange and communication among students and researchers.
- To promote the integration of science-based biorefineries and bioproducts knowledge in decision-making processes.
- To optimise the use of research structures and facilities from both institutions (laboratories, instrumentation, technical and administrative staff, pilot testing).
Research lines
