We are interested in collaborating to identify new products and collaborative production models, enhancing the sustainability of the entire supply chain through the efficient use of raw materials, by-products and waste.
To achieve this, our goal is to contribute to the appropriate selection of tree species, technologies and construction processes, to promote the use of timber and wood-based products in construction, as well as to analyse alternative solutions for the utilisation of residual biomass (e.g bionergy, biochar, syngas and others).

CoLAB ForestWISE® – Collaborative Laboratory for Integrated Forest and Fire Management – is a private, non-profit organisation. We promote integrated forest and fire management through (co)research and development activities, knowledge and technology transfer, and by acting as an interface between industry, academia, and public administration to create a real impact on the forest and fire domains and on society.
Our Strategic R&D&I Agenda is organised around four core themes related to forest and landscape management: (i) Management and Sustainability, (ii) Risk, (iii) Circular Bioeconomy, and (iv) People and Territory. These core themes are complemented by three cross-cutting themes focusing on Key Enabling Technologies, Governance and Policy, and Innovation and Capacity Building.
