InnoRenew project

InnoRenew CoE activities will focus on two technologies that distinguish this Centre of Excellence from other institutions:

• modification of wood
• Restorative Environmental and Ergonomic Design (REED).

Institute

The InnoRenew CoE Centre of Excellence is an independent research institute established in 2017 on the basis of the InnoRenew CoE project.

At InnoRenew CoE, we are researching renewable materials and sustainable construction, and translating scientific knowledge into industrial practice. In this context, we have a special focus on the innovative and interdisciplinary study of wood and its applications.

In addition, the diverse skills of our international team of experts and scientists are combined in A living laboratorywhere they are available to anyone who might need them for their work or plans.

Vision

The vision of the InnoRenew CoE is to be a world leader in interdisciplinary built environment science and a role model for international research excellence, industry collaboration and public engagement.

Mission

The mission of the InnoRenew CoE is to acquire new knowledge in the field of nature-based solutions, in particular using wood, that promote and accelerate the adoption of regenerative sustainability, by:

• advances in materials development and processing to optimise efficiency and knowledge,
• engineered living materials that harness the function and capabilities of living organisms,
• Design solutions to improve health and sustainability based on Restorative Environmental and Ergonomic Design (REED).

Progress in these areas will contribute to more sustainable forests, a healthier built environment and growth in forestry and wood processing.
