Students are welcome!

 

Did you know that today your newspaper is made with an average speed of 80 -100 km/hour? And that over 75% of the used paper is being recycled and used as a valuable raw material for new paper and board applications? And that the process of papermaking is a combination of chemistry, machine technology, chemical and enzyme technology and application techniques?

Interested in the backgrounds of the papermaking process? Looking for interesting research work? Within different research projects or as part of our strategic research, there are possibilities for national and international students to do research work as a part of the educational programme. This could be realised as a short term (e.g. 3 months) project up to a one year thesis work for bachelor (HBO) and university students. We have fully equipped laboratories and trained staff. Students will be coached by professional researchers and there are also possibilities to get in contact with industrial paper mills in The Netherlands when necessary. If you want to know how much fun an internship at Wageningen UR can be, read here about the experiences of a Spanish student.

The Paper and Board research group consists of a number of relatively young people, based in Wageningen (centrally located in The Netherlands). It is easy to find nice and affordable rooms for students in Wageningen and students are offered a small monthly grant for their work. For more information on the different projects currently going on, see the projects page. If you are interested to come to Wageningen UR Paper and Board, please contact Gülden Yilmaz.
