pulp and paper industry from the mid-nineteenth century until roughly 1990, a period that
witnessed it undergo drastic changes because of the altered political environment in Europe
and general globalization. In addressing its subject, this chapter is mainly concerned with the
operation of paper mills, but it also addresses the related subjects of technical research,
formal higher education and work-related, practical learning. In addition, it briefly discusses
the challenges inherent in researching the development of technology because of its research
traditions.
