Every two years, the industry presents the latest technologies for the factories and energy systems of the future at Hannover Messe. The Fraunhofer WKI presents innovative products and processes for the use of wood and other renewable resources in materials.

The compact course imparts the essential theoretical and practical basics for the visual grading of sawn timber and is officially recognized by the accredited bodies in Germany.

How can paints and adhesives be made from renewable raw materials? Are they just as good and really environmentally friendly? At the “Salon der Wissenschaft” (Salon of Science), you can discuss this with Dr. Tobias Robert, scientist at the Fraunhofer WKI. The “Salon der Wissenschaft” again invites you to talk to researchers from the Braunschweig region. There will be no lectures, the focus will be on personal dialog.
