Short Courses

The Gottstein Trust organises week-long courses in Wood Science for those people new to the forest products industry, including executives.

The courses provide a deeper understanding of wood and the properties that affect its processing and end uses. The lecturers provide a comprehensive coverage of the scientific aspects of wood utilisation, from the biological structure of a tree to the latest trends in processes and uses.

To date, around 250 senior executives and potential managers have attended these courses. The Wood Science courses take place in Melbourne every second year in February. The venues are CSIRO Forest Biosciences, and the University of Melbourne.
