Collaborations
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft
http://www.dfg.de/
The RTG collaborates with the DFG-DST research project entitled ?Models and Algorithms for computing in presence of uncertainty?, which is a joint project of the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Indian Department of Science and Technology (DST). The goal of this research project is the close collaboration of German and Indian researchers in order to exchange the expertise on the two fields of algorithms and modeling uncertainties in mathematical optimization

EGGER International
https://www.egger.com/
The RTG cooperates with EGGER International. The company produces wood-based panel products. EGGER is represented by 17 production sites in Europe and has currently 23 sales offices worldwide. In Radauti (Romania), field trials with a chipping harvester within an experimental short rotation coppice (360 ha) have been conducted. One of the aims of this field trip was to collect material samples from different poplar clones and at different stages of age. These samples should be used for experimentations concerning material utilization later on.

EU-project OptALI
http://optali.com/
The RTG had a cooperation with the EU-project OptALI (Optimization and its Applications in Learning and Industry). The OptALI project encourages the exchange and strengthening of research collaboration via an exchange programme that allows European OptALI members to visit Auckland and Canterbury Universities, and similarly New Zealanders to visit the European partner universities. Other activities include workshops in both New Zealand and Europe. In New Zealand the RTG collaborated with the work group of professor Ehrgott (University of Auckland) as well as with the working group of Prof. Tadao Takaoka from Christchurch University.

University of Conception

A model has been developed in Gottingen for the planning and optimization of local heating networks in bioenergy villages and was tested and adapted to Chilean conditions. The adjustments allow for the modeling and optimization of larger heating networks in residential areas, which are supplied with waste heat from wood fueled co-generation plants. In Chile, the RTG cooperates with Professor Alex Berg who visited the RTG in 2012 as a guest lecturer , and who also plans to cooperate further with the group.

University of Hamburg
https://www.uni-hamburg.de/
The RTG collaborates extensively with the Chemical Technology Department of the University of Hamburg. The University of Hamburg has equipment that enables members of the RTG to do pre-experiments and prepare materials for research. For example, their laboratory kneader is used in order to conduct experiment concerning the influence of WPC processing parameters on the wood components as well as to conduct experiments on fusion behaviours of polyvinyl chloride composites based on bamboo particles. Furthermore, equipment is used to examine agricultural by-products as a substitute for wood particles in WPC.
