The Forest Products Industry Research College – FPIRC – is the co-ordinator in Sweden for education and continuing education within the Pulp & Paper area, with a focus on scientific developments. The intention is to indicate where the cutting-edge of research lies in chosen sections of the pulp and paper value added chain.
     FPIRC started in December 1996 with both research and PhD courses. Today the activities are solely the PhD course package (graduate school; post-graduate course curriculum), and an annual Summer Conference.
     The courses are open to PhD students, scientists and industrial people from the whole world. Due to an early effort to concentrate on being the leading organizer of courses within the field, FPIRC is today a well-established trademark for higher education in both national and international terms.
