Leading Researcher, Head of the Laboratory of Wood Biodegradation and Protection, Dr.chem. Bruno Andersons, has received the Arvīda Kalniņa Award, issued by the Latvian Academy of Sciences.

It is especially poetic to receive this award in 2024, which is the year of the 130th jubilee of Professor Arvīds Kalniņš who was an active participant in the bustling developments of wood science in the 1920s, and the founder and the first director of the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry.
