International Professional
Visiting Scientist Awards

The Society of Wood Science and Technology (SWST) is providing international travel grants for the professional growth of two members each calendar year. These grants are to enhance the members’ international perspective and networking with scientists, technologists, and engineers from other countries that are so vital to the success of SWST in the future. Successful candidates are also to bring colleagues from their home country into the networks they establish.
