Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The wood education ecosystem in Europe plays a crucial role in training future professionals equipped to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving industry. The mapping of the European wood education community identified 400 wood higher education programmes, including 158 bachelor's (BSc) and 173 master's (MSc) programmes in 154 institutions within two groups. The assessment highlights critical challenges facing the industry, particularly a skilled labour shortage exacerbated by an ageing workforce.
