Dear colleagues,
We are proud to announce the 21th International Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation of
Wood Symposium, which will be held in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, September 25-27,
2019. This symposium will be hosted by the Forest Research Institute Baden-Württemberg
(FVA) and is co-sponsored by USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory (FPL), the

Organizations (IUFRO). This Symposium is a forum for those involved in non-destructive
testing and evaluation of wood, wood-based products, and structures.
Objectives of the conference:
The objectives of this symposium are to provide the international nondestructive testing
and evaluation of wood research community a venue to present results from their latest
research and technology transfer activities and make them available to scientists and
engineers from around the world. Networking among participants will foster new
collaborative efforts, with an emphasis on implementation of non-destructive testing
technologies around the globe.
Subject areas covered:
- Nondestructive characterization of wood and wood-based materials
- Evaluation of forest materials for optimal utilization
- Advanced grading technologies for solid wood and engineered wood products
- Condition assessment, evaluation, and repair of existing wood structures
- Condition assessment of historic wood artifacts and structures
- Evaluation and assessment of urban trees
