Call for papers

5th edition of the international scientific conference WOOD – SCIENCE – ECONOMY. Sustainable solutions and Digitalization in Forest-Wood Industry.

 

We invite you to submit proposals for papers and posters in line with the scope of the conference, i.e. fitting in with the following areas:

1. Sustainable forestry in a changing environment

  • Threats to forests and forestry resulting from global climate change (insect outbreaks, fires, severe weather phenomena, epiphytosis) and the possibilities of preventing these changes
  • Anthropopression (environmental pollution, deforestation, overexploitation)
  • Mitigation of global climate changes by managing the forest and increasing forest areas
  • Augmentation of wood resources and their efficient use
  • Invasive species – by-product of globalization (prediction, control)
  • The role of disturbances in the formation of multifunctional forests – possibilities and limitations

2. Challenges in wood science

  • Impact of climate on wood formation and wood properties
  • Wood in bioenergy
  • Green building
  • Bio-friendly wood protection
  • New technologies in wood-based materials (biocomposites, nanomaterials, packing)
  • Environmental aspects of the forestry and wood sector (furniture industry, sawmilling and other wood-based industries)
  • Wood market; circular bioeconomy, industry 4.0

3. Ecosystem services provided by forest ecosystems

  • Phytoremediation – water and air purification
  • Protection of biodiversity – maintenance of wildlife habitat
  • Carbon storage
  • Social and cultural benefits: education, recreation, traditional non-wood resource uses and spirituality

Submitted papers/posters must present original results of basic and applied research on technological, technical, economic and environmental issues essential for science and wood-based industries and neighbouring fields.

Forms of participation in the conference:

  • Paper submission and its presentation following the approval of the Scientific Committee,
  • Poster submission and its presentation following the approval of the Scientific Committee,
  • Participation in the conference (neither paper nor poster).
