ABOUT THE WWDF Research Grant
Every year, WWDF invites applications from scholars and graduate students that focus on "Wood and Culture", a historical perspective is particularly encouraged to apply. Both ongoing projects and new initiatives are encouraged to apply.
The WWDF supports interdisciplinary and integral investigation for exploring how wood has played a prominent role in human life. "Wood and Culture" is a broad and encompassing theme that encourages a wide range of academic research.
