Issue 5

Short summary
The new professorship for biobased fibre materials and the new bachelor and master curricula at the BOKU University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences opens up a new field in research and lecturing. The traditional focus on wood science and technology will be extended by the field of natural fibres and biobased fibre materials. The current issue of LIGNOVISIONEN provides a survey on the new bachelor and master curricula at BOKU such as „Wood and Natural Fibre Technology“ and „Wood Technology and Management“, which comprises a separate module of fibre science and technology (which is lectured in English) and reflects presentations of experts in the course of the new professorship and new structuring of the curricula.
