The 21st Annual Meeting of the Northern European Network for Wood Science and Engineering (WSE 2025) takes place next week.
The conference website has published the book of extended abstracts. These will eventually go on to the network’s website.
We have two papers:
Lux, S., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Cramer, M. (2025). Beech wood for slicing the density-dynamic MOE potato. 21st Annual Meeting of the Northern European Network for Wood Science and Engineering, Växjö, Sweden.
Ridley-Ellis, D. (2025). Density and bending strength in UK-grown Sitka spruce: correlated, not correlated, or a secret third thing? 21st Annual Meeting of the Northern European Network for Wood Science and Engineering, Växjö, Sweden. There is also now an extended version of this published in Wood Material Science and Engineering: Ridley-Ellis, D. (2026). The correlation of density and bending strength for structural sized UK-grown Sitka spruce. Wood Material Science & Engineering, 1–10. https://doi.org/10.1080/17480272.2026.2648731
We were very happy to host Simon Lux as a visiting researcher in our laboratory this summer. Thanks to a scholarship from the Bundesministerium für Innovation, Mobilität und Infrastruktur, which is coordinated by the Austrian Cooperative Research.
