FSCN Research Centre Information

FSCN Research Center is a multi-disciplinary research centre at Mid Sweden University. FSCN conducts research that supports the development of forest-based industries and explores new opportunities for forest-based biomaterials. In addition, we focus on advanced materials for energy conversion and storage, as well as processes for manufacturing and material processing. Our goal is to contribute to sustainable and cost-efficient solutions for the society of the future. Our research is carried out in close collaboration with the Swedish forest industry and their suppliers, as well as other materials, chemicals, transport, and energy sectors. We aim to increase industry profitability by improving resource and process efficiency and to support the development of new bio-based products in different sectors. The underlying goal for all of our research is increased resource efficiency, environmental friendliness, and circularity in the industrial ecosystem of the region. FSCN was established in 1999 and has grown from the initial four professors to today’s 13 full-time professors and 26 graduate students. In total, the centre consists of 80 researchers.
