Research and Development
In the research seminar, you will learn about wood construction research projects and innovation accelerators, which have increased in Finnish universities recently. There are research projects from every sector, from economics to health sciences, to sustainability.
Engineering and Economics
A lot is going on with developing wood building materials, methods and regulations. Eurocodes are coming and we can do education and information together. In this seminar, we go through the newest solutions to build a better environment sustainably.
Regional development and holiday housing projects
Tourism in Finland is increasing and the growth wants to be enabled while considering the principles of sustainable development. The seminar will present tourism construction concentrations, vacation home projects and trends in sustainable community planning.
Architecture and Design
Finnish architecture and design are known for nature-relation and Alvar Aalto. Wood has been our building material for centuries, so we have long traditions to use it for every possible purpose. The architecture and design seminars bring us to see the masterpieces of old and modern wood architecture using typical wood construction methods and different building materials.
Happiness and wellbeing
Wood surfaces within buildings have a positive effect on the psychophysiological characteristics of people. Their focus improves, and even their heart rate is lowered. Living in a wooden house or holiday home is very common in Finland perhaps for this reason the Finns have been named the happiest nation in the world for seven years in a row.
