March 2018

The director of InnoRenew CoE Assoc. Prof. Dr Andreja Kutnar and the research group leader in sustainable building with renewable materials Dr Iztok Šušteršič have visited the Slovenian company CBD d.o.o., which is specialised in timber design and construction.

The company is already very much involved in research projects. However, they wish to expand their endeavours further. Therefore Andreja and Iztok performed a training at CBD d.o.o. focusing on project development and national and international funding. They presented an overview of the European funding potentials in the scheme of Horizon 2020, as well as the Slovenian national funding possibilities. They established that the ideas CBD wishes to evolve further would best fit the SME instrument calls.

The company will try to apply for such funding in late spring or summer with the InnoRenew CoE providing all the necessary support.
