\n9:30 AM – 1:30 PM General audience
\n1:30 PM – 16:00 PM SIRT sponsors only<\/p>\n

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

On Friday 17th November we will be holding a seminar to update you on the latest research on timber.\u00a0 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).\u00a0 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.\u00a0 We’ll still have time to fit in the latest news on what we are planning to do with NUI Galway\u00a0 (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.<\/p>\n

The afternoon session, which is for SIRT project sponsors only<\/span>, will go into more details, get under the hood of the latest developments in standardisation, and set the agenda for research going forward.\u00a0 Most of the standards for strength graded timber have been revised recently – and it looks almost certain that next spring will bring a big overhaul to machine grading.\u00a0 If you want to know what’s coming before it comes, this is your opportunity.<\/p>\n

The event is free, but space is limited so\u00a0please book through our Eventbrite page<\/a>\u00a0in good time.\u00a0 Lunch and coffee breaks are provided.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a joint event with the Wood Technology Society (WTS) of IOM3<\/a>.\u00a0 The purpose of WTS, which was formerly the Institute of Wood Science (IWSc),\u00a0 is to advance and encourage the scientific, technical, practical and general knowledge of timber and wood based materials. It is\u00a0the professional body for the timber and allied industries, and has part of IOM3 has strong connection with other materials interest groups including the construction materials group, the natural materials society and the packaging society.\u00a0 WTS\u00a0exists for all who care for and have an interest in timber and wood based products and, in particular, those employed within the timber importing, merchanting, manufacturing and user industries, together with those in education and research.<\/p>\n
