There have been numerous wood science programmes in Europe. They mostly teach common topics such as wood anatomy, wood protection. However, there are some specific topics such as wood fuel, contemporary furniture design only given by some of programmes. This means one is missing a specific topic while other one is missing something else in wood science. Additionally, there are some missing fields which are industry 4.0, circular economy, carbon consumption reduction, wooden toys, musical instrument production and furnishing and production of marine vessels. New or innovative topics and courses such as heat sterilization is missing on the curriculum. Beside all, wood science institutes all around the world are losing their popularity. For all above mentioned issues will be considered and decided to solve by joint activities called Wood-Mas Erasmus joint master program on wood science. Among the potential partners, EMDM is to encourage the development of new, innovative, high-level integrated transnational study programmes on Wood Science. In this regard, this consortium targets for providing a first global generation of wood researcher with new scientific knowledge to address effectively topics, needs and threats that are specific to Wood Science. This consortium will pay attention on gaining interest of high school students on wood science topics in order to increase qualified people in the profession and the sector This consortium aims to have a comprehensive and complementary curriculum covering almost each wood science departments in Europe. One of the main reasons of establishing this EMDM programme is to grow and present qualified people for wood industry in Europe. In the beginning, Wood-Mas will build upon the expertise and experience of a network of several forest research organizations in several countries to become the first joint European Master programme supported by European Commission.
