While working on the Preludium 19 project, we established contacts with the Institute of Wood Sciences and Furniture at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW).
Director of the Institute, Dr hab. Paweł Kozakiewicz, Prof. WULS-SGGW, holds a postdoctoral degree in forest sciences in the field of wood industry. In the field of his interest, apart from many other aspects related to wood, there is also antique wood.
Prof. Kozakiewicz is one of the authors of the book “Climate and antique wood – old and modern knowledge about wood”. He also collaborated with museums such as the Wilanów Palace Museum, the National Museum in Warsaw, and the Central Maritime Museum in Gdańsk.
We had the opportunity to present him the concept of our research and preliminary results. Prof. Kozakiewicz gave us some valuable comments and suggested what questions we should ask ourselves. We hope that our cooperation will develop!
