Clustering knowledge, Innovation and Design in the SEE WOOD sector (ID:WOOD)
Date du début: 30 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 29 sept. 2014,
With its surplus of forests resources the wood sector in the SEE area presents significant potentials still to be exploited. In most of SE Europe countries, wood sector is rather fragmented, lacking an organic policy approach that would create the basic conditions for its development. The area involved in the project is characterized by a clear dual spatial pattern, where some of the regions invol...
