The Institute for Wood Science is operated as a research and teaching campus in Hamburg-Lohbrügge jointly by the Thünen Institute of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the University of Hamburg. On the university side, it includes the Institute for Wood Science (IHW), an institute of the Biology Department of the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences, and two specialist institutes of the Thünen Institute (TI). The two TI specialist institutes "Wood Research (HF)" and "International Forestry and Forest Economics (WF)", which emerged in 2008 from the former facilities of the Federal Research Institute for Forestry and Wood Management , are dedicated to the Institute for Wood Sciences, formerly the center Timber industry at the University of Hamburg, research and teaching tasks according to the individual requirements and tasks of their respective institutions.
