Alfred Teischinger is internationally one of the most prominent wood technologists. Before retiring he was Full Professor at BOKU Vienna, Austria, and he is talking about what brought him into wood, and shares his philosophy about technology, science, also with respect to society. The major focus of this talk is on the now published Springer Handbook of Wood Science and Technology, which he co-edited, an over 2000 pages strong volume covering wood biology, chemistry and physics, structure-property relations, wood-based materials, and much more. Professor Teischinger talks about fundamental technological perspectives and industrial processes beyond sawmilling, the manufacturing of wood products, leading to wood applications. With great appreciation of wood as a resource, he is a person who has the unique gift of thinking ahead of time.
