The wood sector holds an important position in the regional economy and lies at the heart of the specialty Master FAGE program ‘Wood-Forest-Sustainable Development’, which aims to study the sector of the material as a resource, the biology of trees as integral parts of forests, with particular emphasis on international contexts and which includes a specialty in English and a specialty focused on tropical forests. Scientific knowledge acquired by students who have chosen this specialty are either oriented towards further in-depth study of fundamental issues, or related to the resolution of major environmental problems.

A study proposed by the inter-professional group promoting the wood sector in Lorraine, Gipeblor, was conducted by engineering students at AgroParisTech, enrolled in the “Wood-Forest-Sustainable Development” specialty Master FAGE program at the University of Lorraine. Its aim was to provide an in-depth analysis of this sector. This study also aimed to compare interests of sector actors in these areas with those of actors in the Black Forest.
