Between 2005 and 2008, InnovaWood co-ordinated a project entitled
- An innovation strategy to integrate industry needs and
research capability in the European forest-wood chain
- or, the InnovaWood SSA project for short.
A further 13 partners from ten different countries participated
in the project which had an estimated total budget of almost
€600,000. The project was funded under the 'Global change
and ecosystems' activities of the 6th Framework Programme.
The aim of the InnovaWood SSA project was to link research
to innovation by addressing the need for increased collaboration
between knowledge and skills producers - on the one hand -
and the industries in the European forest-wood chain on the
other. Part of this process involved an attempt to catalogue
the many research organisations and institutes active in the
sector in Europe.
One of the significant achievements of the InnovaWood SSA
project was the creation of the data obtained during the cataloguing
exercise of a comprehensive online database of European research
providers, which can be accessed via the project website
The database contains information concerning all of the research
provider organisations that responded to a survey of European
research capacities carried out by the project consortium.
There are around 100 research organisations featured in the
search engine at present.
If your organisation is not included, contact - office@innovawood.com
The information featured in the database includes organisations’
addresses, research staff numbers, contact details, etc. The
online database is linked to Google Maps, so the precise locations
of organisations can be viewed on screen.
An integral part of the online database is the interactive
search function that allows users to search for research providers
by country and by research discipline - or, by combinations
of the two. For a more refined search, users may search in
a specific city or discipline.
The InnovaWood Search Engine of Research Providers can serve
as a useful tool for a wide variety of users. Access to the
search engine is open to all.
