ECWM 8: 26th and 27th October 2015
Just a brief reminder that the deadline for the submission of abstracts for the next European Conference on Wood Modification, to be held on the 26th and 27th of October 2015, is due on the 31st January 2015.
Please submit your abstract:
ECWM is now firmly established as the premier global event dedicated to the science and technology of wood modification. This conference, now the eighth in the series, will provide a forum for individuals from research organisations and companies to learn about the latest developments in this rapidly evolving field, to discuss with renowned experts and to build their networks in an informal and friendly atmosphere. The conference will cover all forms of wood modification, including, but not limited to thermal, oleo-thermal, thermo-hydro-mechanical, chemical and impregnation modifications, as well as emerging technologies such as microwave, plasma and enzymatic modification. There will also be sessions dealing with testing methods and standards, environmental issues, quality control and various aspects of commercialisation, as well as poster presentation sessions.
It is now more than a decade since the first European Conference on Wood Modification was held in Ghent in 2003. Since then there have been many advances in the area of wood modification and the market for commercial modified wood products has expanded. In this conference we will explore how modified wood products can help create a more resource efficient future.
ECWM8 will be organised by the Department of Forest Products Technology, Aalto University, Finland (www.aalto.fi) and will be held in the beautiful capital region of Finland.
Further information and regular updates can be found on the conference webpages at: www.ecwm8.aalto.fi.
We look forward to seeing you in Finland in 2015!
Tervetuloa! Welcome!
