SUMMARY:WTS British Timber seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join us\, this group of true wood enthusiasts\, for an entertaining and informative programme of short talks for the British forestry and timber community. The event will showcase some of the new products and progress in British timber and wood science\, and its relevance to the industry today. \nThere will be opportunity to ask questions\, network and discuss with others in the trade\, consultants and specialists. \nRefreshments from 16.30 pm \n17.00 Home-grown timber now and in the future \nDan Ridley- Ellis\, Edinburgh Napier University \n17.30 New products from UK timbers \nMorwenna Spear\, Bangor University \n18.00 Wood composites – microscopic to macroscopic \nMartin Ansell\, University of Bath \nThe Wood Technology Society is part of The Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining (IOM3). This free event is being held in ‘The Mine’\, at the IOM3 headquarters\, conveniently situated next to Warren Street tube station. \nThe Wood Technology Society\, formerly the Institute of Wood Science (IWSc). Our purpose is to advance and encourage the scientific\, technical\, practical and general knowledge of timber and wood based materials.

SUMMARY:SIRT seminar
DESCRIPTION:On Friday 17th November we will be holding a seminar to update you on the latest research on timber.  The morning session is open to all and will include summaries on two recently completed PhD projects at University of Glasgow (managing twist and other drying distortion\, and understanding moisture variation in trees and roundwood).  This will be combined with ongoing research from Forest Research and Surrey University (modelling moisture movement in wood\, and moisture cracking of trees)\, and – of course – the very latest research from Edinburgh Napier University on grading settings\, and alternative conifer species – both material properties and the results of our recent survey of sawmillers’ experience.  We’ll still have time to fit in the latest news on what we are planning to do with NUI Galway  (including new machine grading settings for Douglas-fir) and an update from Andrew Gibson on the Modern Apprenticeship Framework in Wood and Timber Industries Level 2.

SUMMARY:Built Environment Exchange (beX) Launch
DESCRIPTION:Changing construction culture through collaborative research. The Built Environment Exchange (beX) brings together international University and industry partners\, to develop dynamic talent and positively accelerate change in the construction sector.\nOur mission is to tackle the skills deficit and diversification challenges within the sector\, by delivering experiential learning opportunities for undergraduate\, early career postgraduate and doctorate students.\nLet’s champion construction sector change together\nWe invite you to join us and learn more about this exciting initiative. We have invited leading construction industry experts\, partners\, academics and beX scholars who have actively participated in the beX programme.\nJoin us to hear of their experiences and learn:\nHow leadership\, internationalisation\, entrepreneurship and innovation can be part of the curriculum.\nHow we can collaborate to change construction culture.\nHow we can deliver product and process improvement by attracting talent from the widest pool of recruits.\nHow you can be a part of it \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/built-environment-exchange-launch-tickets-38043049786
