KYOGI INNOVATIOS (3 ECTS) 15.11.-15.12.2022
What can you do with thin veneer or plywood? How do desing and woodbased material connect to bioeconomy? What would it be like to work in multicultural, multidisciplinary groups?
Here’s your chance to find out!
Join us for an international, online Kyogi Innovations programme! During the course you will get a basic understanding of forest bioeconomy and innovation methods and design new ways to utilise thin plywood and Japanese kyogi (thin veneer).
