Blog launch

SIRT is a research collaboration working to support the UK's forest and timber industries. The project was started in 2004 through a £1.2 million Strategic Research Development Grant from the Scottish Funding Council, with the aim of bringing together research in forestry, wood science, chemistry, biology and engineering to create a multidisciplinary virtual research centre to understand the UK's timber resource at all scales.

From now on you'll be able to stay up-to-date on the activities of the SIRT project through this blog. The members of the research team will be posting regular articles about what they are doing, what they have discovered, and the relevance to industry.
