Institute of Forest Utilization and Work Science (Fobawi), University of Freiburg
Research focus of the institute is to improve utilization of forest wood products along the Forest-Wood-Chain. This covers all aspects beginning with harvesting activities and forest engineering up to development of new sustainable bio-materials. The research activities are subdivided into four working groups. As well it is a strength of our institute, to cross-link our research and teaching activities of all working groups within one institute.
