The European wood and furniture sector is currently expressing concern regarding a shortage of skilled workers with qualified knowledge in the field of information and communication technologies. The ERASMUS+ project "IN4WOOD", funded by the European Union, has therefore developed a training program to support the wood and furniture industries in Industry 4.0-relevant technologies and topics.

The focus course “Bonding in wooden construction” includes topics such as legal and normative fundamentals concerning bonding in wooden construction as well as the production and the assessment of the load-bearing capacity of wood bondings and wooden components.

The focus course “Quality control in the production of wood-based materials” includes topics such as fundamentals concerning the production and application of wood-based materials, in-house factory production control, requirements and detection methods for emissions and mechanical properties of wood-based materials as well as statistical data evaluation as a quality control tool.

The AEROSOLS conference serves as a forum for aerosol scientists to present, share and discuss their latest findings. The conference is organized by Fraunhofer WKI in close collaboration with the German Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt - UBA).

You would like to obtain information on the most important trends and current challenges in the wood-based materials industry? You are looking for a forum where you, as manufacturer, supplier or user, can exchange ideas and establish networks during in-depth discussions? From 30^th September to 2^nd October 2020, the Fraunhofer WKI and the European Panel Federation, in co-operation with the International Association for Technical Issues related to Wood, are organizing for the twelfth time the European Wood-Based Panel Symposium.
