IUFRO 2012, All D5 Conference in Portugal - Second announcement
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The next IUFRO All-Division5 Conference is to be held in Estoril, Lisbon,
July 8-13th 2012.
IUFRO, along with the Technical University of Lisbon/ ISA would like to
extend an invitation to the entire forest sector to participate in this
international event.
Forests play a vital role for rural as well as urban populations all over
the world. They are an essential natural resource providing multiple
benefits to people.
Their conservation and sustainable management are closely linked with global
issues such as food supply and environmental protection.
Scientific knowledge is needed all over the world to effectively address
these issues globally and regionally and provide the basis for political
decisions.
Close international cooperation in forest science and related disciplines is
required to enable forests to satisfy the manifold human needs in a
sustainable way.
This conference is designed to bring together researchers in forest products
and related fields from around the world. Discussion will embrace progress
and needs in research to meet rapidly increasing demands for all kinds of
forest products, while maintaining the forest as a source of such products
and a resource for social, economic and environmental benefits.
The major topics to be discussed are:
Wood Quality
Properties and Utilization of Plantation Woods
Physio-mechanical Properties of Wood
Energy and Chemicals from Forest Biomass
Wood-based materials and their Applications
Forest Products Marketing
Wood Processing
Non-wood Forest Products
Wood Protection
Forest Products Education
Composites and Reconstituted Products
Wood Culture
Pulp & Paper
The role of wood in a sustainable society
For further information on this upcoming event and instructions for authors,
please visit the conference website at www.iufro2012.org and complete the
form "Expression of interest" under the menu " Call for papers".
Abstracts should be submitted as soon as possible in 2011, but not later

FCBA is pleased to invite you to the 5th edition of the International
Symposium on Wood Fibre Polymer Composites which will take place on
September 26-27, 2011, in Biarritz, about 200 km to the south of Bordeaux in
France.
The 2011 conference event will focus on opportunities for innovative wood
based composites used in Building and Furniture sectors contributing to the
Green Growth. New information will be divulged on bio resources based
materials and bio plastics used as raw materials and formulations, chemical
modifications, on product performances, policy issues standardization
methods and the environmental issues related to wood-based materials.
Scientists, Experts from Industry present latest information on recent
developments by 30 conferences on two days. A technical exhibition and
poster session will also be provided.
