New Name for Georgia Tech's IPST

摘要

Georgia Tech announced a new name for the Institute of Paper Science and Technology (IPST), one of Georgia Tech's 10 interdisciplinary research institutes. IPST has been renamed the Renewable Bioproducts Institute [RBI]. Over the past decade, the research mission of IPST has broadened beyond papermaking to include technologies that produce chemicals, biofuels and new material products from forest raw materials. The new name reflects this broader research scope designed to better serve the global development of new forest-based economies.
