Forest-Based Sector (Web)
This platform is established in February 2005 and is a federation of the European Confederation of Woodworking Industries (CEI-Bois), the Confederation of European Forest Owners (CEPF) and the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI). The aim is at defining and implementing the sector’s R&D roadmap for the future and is supported by a wide range of stakeholders. The Forest-based sector technology platform is an industry-driven process, embedded in industry reality, and supporting the sector’s strategy. The platform covers the area of the forestry, wood and paper industry.
Thematic focuses are:
- Multifunctional forest cultivation
- Technological innovations for new and improved qualities of wood surfaces
- Timber joints and construction materials
- Development of production technology, which are more efficiently and alternative application areas of cellulose and paper
The Vision Document 2030 (LINK) was officially published in the launching event of the Forest-based sector Technology Platform on 15th February 2005 in Brussels in the context of the FBI Forum. To realise the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) (LINK) which exists since February 2006, an "Implementation Planning Task Force" is established.
The structure of this ETP is very different to many other ETPs, because it's built up on national TPs.
The national Platform for Austria is led by Austropapier.
