Aid Scheme for Growth and Development from Wood

The Aid Scheme for Growth and Development from Wood under the Wood Building Programme aims to promote the use of wood in construction by granting support for various kinds of research and development projects. The measures under the aid scheme include the allocation of funding to selected themes within the sector, activating different stakeholders and encouraging new players. The projects to be supported should have a broad impact and boost growth in the sector. The maximum amount of funding to be granted in total is EUR 5 million.
