Garage48 Future of Wood: Rebuild Ukraine

Garage48, Estonian Academy of Arts, Estonian Research Council and TSENTER Competence Center invite you to create the future of wood. This time all the creative and out of the box ideas are welcome to rebuild Ukraine in a green and sustainable manner. 

Ukraine has been fighting a war on their home since February 24th. They need our ongoing support now as much as when the invasion began. We believe that the Future of Wood makeathon can be a place to contribute to this matter. Let’s create collaboration between Estonia and Ukraine to build, create and revalue the use of wood, for the purpose of rebuilding in Ukraine.

The end result we seek at the makeathon is either physical or digital prototypes. So whether you are someone who works with a CNC machine, a chisel or a laptop – we welcome you. We’re welcoming students, working practitioners, experts and enthusiasts. You can join with or without an idea, as an individual or a team.

The focus topic this year are:

• Modular, circular and climate neutral construction;
• Technologies for rapid design, engineering and production;
• Smart valorization of biomass in construction and long-lasting products;
• Roll-up, Fold-up, Flip-up, Pack-up – products that fit perfectly into, onto or next to modular buildings.

Pre-event

Estonian Research Council and EAS are hosting a SekMo (sectorial mobility measure) cooperation day for entrepreneurs and researchers that will be focused on wood. It is a great way to have 1:1 discussions between entrepreneurs and researchers regarding their problems and field of study. Use this opportunity to build a base for future cooperation and brainstorm ideas that can be turned into a physical prototype at the Garage48 Future of Wood: Rebuild Ukraine makeathon.
