The 11th European Conference on Wood Modification (ECWM11) will take place in Firenze, Italy on April 15-16, 2024.

It is now 20 years since the first European Conference on Wood Modification took place in Ghent in 2003. Since then, there have been many advances in the area of wood modification and the market for commercial modified wood products has expanded. In this conference, we will explore how modified wood products might contribute to the development of a more resource efficient future providing new challenges and opportunities to mitigate climate change.

The conference will be co-organized by the Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI) of the University of Florence, the Institute for Bio-Economy (IBE) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and the School of Agriculture, Forest, Food and Environmental Sciences (SAFE) of the University of Basilicata. The conference is also supported by the Wood Value Chain division of the Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology (SISEF).

Key-dates are reported in the attached announcement. Further information, the official website and the registration fees will be available soon.

Looking forward to meet you in Firenze next spring
Giacomo Goli (Chair of Local Organizing Committee)
Holger Militz (Chair of Scientific Committee)
