We are looking forward to the next Timber conference – back in the summer of 2025. This is a conference for the UK timber industry, wood technologists, wood scientists and related trades. It will showcase many new and interesting projects, research and developments in timber, wood products, and the science behind them.
The primary aims of the event are to showcase the latest developments in timber research in the UK, to allow knowledge transfer, and to prompt discussion of new products, and processes and their potential within the UK. It is an excellent chance to network, sharing knowledge between academia and businesses, and between specialists across the many disciplines within timber engineering, wood technology and wood science. An excellent opportunity to connect, strengthen our industry and work towards a resilient, sustainable future.
The conference will span all topics related to timber – from the largest structures to the smallest models of molecular structure or cell wall ultrastructure. The organisers seek to balance the fundamental lab- and forest-based experiments through to the industrial application and development of new products. Topics will range from preservation to panel products; modified wood to engineered lumber.

Why you should attend Timber 2025
The one-day conference provides an ideal opportunity for networking, while allowing delegates to present and discuss their work from a wide range of backgrounds. The new connections and context given by talking with wood experts from other fields offers many opportunities to strengthen and create active UK-based research networks, and to stimulate new ideas which will benefit the industry in years to come.
