RESEARCH AND TRAINING
The work of Edinburgh Napier University's Forest Products Research Institute ranges from the practical to cutting edge scientific, and from the timber engineering requirements of the construction industry through to the manufacture of advanced, high performance materials derived from cellulose nano-fibres.
Of the four research centres which make up the institute, it is The Wood Studio which is most relevant to historic buildings, offering wood science, chemistry and timber engineering advice for both new construction and for conservation work.
