Wood, material of the future
As part of the National Research Council's centenary celebrations, the event "Wood, material of the future", organised by the Institute for Bioeconomics of the CNR (National Research Council) and co-funded by the Autonomous Region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, will be held at the MUSE - Science Museum in Trento on 9 and 10 June.
The event intends to examine in a multidisciplinary manner the recent scientific results and future prospects of research in the field of wood, a natural material at the basis of the civilisation and culture of mountain regions, a pillar of the local economy and territorial balances and an element of paramount importance in facing the great challenges of ecological transition and sustainability.
