World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2016)

FPS Section Europe will join the 2016 World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE) between 22nd and 25th August at the Vienna University of Technology with a mini-symposium (MS1-04): Modified wood as building material for sustainable constructions assigned to Track 1: Wood products & components.

MS1-04 will be lead by Prof. Dr. Alexander Petutschnigg, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Austria and will deal with recent research topics on:
-    massive wood products for sustainable constructions
-    modified wood products and their use for sustainable constructions
-    wood composites, new biobased materials and the ecological aspects of biobased materials for sustainable constructions.

Prospective authors are kindly invited to electronically submit an abstract related to a mini-symposium through the conference website by November 20, 2015:
