Subject: 3rd announcement From Forests to Heritage 3



Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce some updates regarding the third 'From Forests to Heritage' conference, which will take place alongside the '2026 World Wood Day Symposium' and the '8th IUFRO Forest Products Culture Colloquium' from 19 to 22 May 2026 in Klagenfurt, Austria.

1) You are invited to start booking your accommodation at https://fromforeststoheritage.dendro.at/. “Visit Klagenfurt” has made some reservations, which you can take advantage of. These reservations must be made by 16 March 2026.

2) We are organising several pre- and post-conference excursions.

  • On Monday 18 May, you can choose between a forest experience and a visit to a high-tech timber construction company (not confirmed yet – please wait for further information).
  • On Saturday 23 May, you can visit the Ljubljana moor and the Ribnica handicraft centre, or the prehistoric salt mines of Hallstatt.
  • We can currently provide a rough cost estimate for the excursions. The fixed costs will be available when registration opens at the end of January.


3) Registration will open at the end of January 2026 via an online tool on the website. The conference fee, which covers attendance, coffee breaks and the in-conference excursion, is not fixed yet, but will be less than €200.

4) The call for abstracts will be open until 31 January 2026. This deadline will not be extended in order to maintain the tight schedule leading up to the meeting in May 2026. So submit your abstract on time. We have already received 29 proposals.

 

The conference venue has a capacity of 120 people. If we receive more abstract proposals or registrations than there are places available, entry will be allocated on a 'first come, first served' basis.

 

We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2026!

We hope to see you in Klagenfurt!

Michael and team
