Tekniikan torstai-seminar: Trees with many purposes

Currently, many major trends occur in the world and especially in the field of Bioeconomy. The field is tightly connected to the climate change and have significant role in energy-, chemical-, food- and textile industries. In the seminar, thorough overview is given on the Bioeconomy research done at the University of Oulu.
