Timber Research Update Seminar
\nWednesday 6th June 2018 9.30am \u2013 4pm<\/p>\n

Construction Scotland Innovation Centre (CSIC)
\n3 Watt Place, Hamilton International Technology Park
\nBlantyre, G72 0AG<\/p>\n

On Wednesday 6th June SIRT (Strategic Integrated Research in Timber) will be holding a seminar to update you on the latest research on timber. The session is open to all and will include summaries on a recently completed PhD project at Edinburgh Napier University looking at properties of minor conifer species. This will be combined with ongoing research from Forest Research and Surrey University (modelling moisture movement in wood), and the very latest research from Edinburgh Napier University. We\u2019ll still have time to fit in the latest news on ongoing research with NUI Galway (including new machine grading settings for Douglas-fir).<\/p>\n

The afternoon session will give further updates of the work being carried out at Edinburgh Napier University, the latest research from the timber properties group at Forest Research, and go into the latest developments in standardisation, and set the agenda for research going forward. If you want to know what\u2019s coming before it comes, this is your opportunity.<\/p>\n

The event is free, but space is limited so please book in good time<\/a>. Lunch and coffee breaks are provided.<\/p>\n

Provisional program
\n(The update on standards, and the research program for the future may be limited to SIRT sponsor companies only)<\/p>\n
