National Forest Centre and our partners, the Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research Wilhelm-Klauditz-Institut WKI, Braunschweig, Germany and Paper and Cellulose Research Institute a.s. Bratislava succeeded in the Horizon Europe WIDERA-Teaming call, with the project of further development of the Center of Excellence LignoSilva in the amount of 14.71 million EUR. We have been implementing the project from January 1, 2024. The important fact is also the linkage of the European project to a domestic complementary project in the same amount of 14.71 million EUR from the resources of the Slovakia 2021-2027 Program.

The project's kick-off meeting will be held on February 8, 2024, in the Center for Scientific and Technical Information of the Slovak Republic, Lamačská cesta 8A, 840 05 Bratislava.
