Overview
About the Program
The students in the Jozsef Cziraki Doctoral School of Wood Sciences and Technologies of University of Sopron receive strong theoretical, research methodology and scientific backgrounds, and complete their research individually, with some guidance from their advisors. Supervision is offered by the top experts and wood scientists in Hungary.
Research projects encompass a wide range of topics, including wood science and wood technology, pulp and fibre technology, wood construction, and even more loosely related topics of nanotechnology, architecture, light industry, or wood-related IT and marketing research.
