Scientific Programme

Mini-Symposia

The conference chairs are pleased that the organization of the following mini-symposia have been proposed by distinguished scientists. The individual mini-symposia have been assigned to the five tracks of the conferences:

Track 1: Wood products & components
Track 2: Computer-based methods
Track 3: Timber architecture
Track 4: Timber engineering
Track 5: Implementation
