Tissue products and technology course, 7.5 ECTS, 2014
The course is postponed until 2014.
Tissue Products and Technology course is an intensive 7.5 credit-point course (7.5 ECTS) and is offered to industry employees as well as PhD students from all countries. Next course takes place 2014. It will engage 10-15 specialist lecturers from both industry and academia, and it will cover all aspects of the tissue market and industry.
Target group
The course will be of interest to anyone who is active in applied research or product development in the tissue industry or its suppliers. The course should also appeal to those interested in learning more about the high-tech paper industry and its relationship with a rapidly changing market. Bringing industry employees and students together has proven to be a fruitful and stimulating match, providing contacts for future collaboration.
What you can expect to learn
After completion of the course, you should have a good understanding of the links between raw materials, manufacturing processes and tissue properties. You will as a consequence be able to anticipate routes leading to product improvements and development, either from a position within the tissue industry or as a supplier. You will familiarize yourself with all aspects of tissue products, including not only the physics and chemistry of the raw materials, processes and products, but also hygienic and social issues, marketing and consumer perception. You will then be able to relate the physical properties of the involved materials and the manufacturing processes, to the requirements placed on the products by the consumers. Study tours to tissue mills are included.
The one-week course consists of lectures, group work and when possible a pilot plant study visit. The course engages several renowned specialists from both the industry and the academic world. The course is taught in English.
