“The live sessions will run on the two afternoons, but there is plenty of online content for delegates to engage with outside of the structured programme,” said Dr Morwenna Spear of Bangor University’s BioComposites Centre and the WTS. “There is also a very competitive pricing structure this year, ideal if people want to drop in now that it is an online event, and see what is going on. We believe this is an excellent opportunity.”

The event brings together wood scientists, wood technologists, timber professionals, and businesses from all areas of the timber industry in a two-day virtual format. 

The conference programme features an excellent selection of high quality presentations, from expert researchers, educators and companies. Conference delegates will be provided with visual and written resources before the event, allowing them to view some content ahead of time and thus get maximum benefit from participation in the interactive features of the online event on the day. 

Key themes that will be explored across both days include:

  •  Structures 
  • Visualisation, sensing and modelling
  • Education
  • Properties of wood, bamboo and composites 
  • Applications and future challenges
  • Wood modifications
  • Circular economy and resource efficiency
