FPInnovations’ new approach to tissue learning proved to be a huge success. This first interactive Tissue Course was organized by FPInnovations in collaboration with its partners (Cristini, Fabio-Perini, Kadant, Solenis, and Toscotec) and with contribution from UBC and Technidyne.

The new digital and interactive format of the course included lectures, tissue sample package sent to participants’ addresses, video demonstrations, Q&A sessions, and quizzes. The course reflected strong involvement and received excellent feedback from attendeess who came from diverse roles and disciplines.

“My colleagues and I enjoyed the presentations and learning. Great job on everyone’s part and congratulation to FPInnovations’ team for the success in organizing this event”, Shaune Hanley, Product Development Manager, Resolute Forest Products.
