This conference is held biennially, and next year will be held in Santiago, Chile, the first South American country to be its host. The WCTE is the center of the discussion about the latest advances related to timber construction and gather different actors that come from the world of engineering, architecture, and construction, as well as people from the forest industry and researchers that contribute to the knowledge of public policies, producers, and suppliers that share their developments, and now with more strength, sustainable forest management. In this event, important researchers and representatives of the public and private sectors will meet to disseminate and discuss the technical advances of this material. Considering your extensive work on this field as both a platform and a congress that gathers people around the topics of science and forest, we would like to ask for your help to spread the word within your community, so more people related to these areas know that they are welcome to send their abstracts, especially in the topics “Sustainable Forest for Lumber Production”, “Policies Implementation and Management” and “Education, Promotion and Future Trends”. For this, we have attached the Call for Papers official document to this email. If you are interested, please let us know if you need any specific information or any other material, or how should we approach this matter. Thank you for taking the time to read this mail.
