Welcome to the International Research Group on Wood Protection

The International Research Group on Wood Protection (IRG) was launched as an independent research group in January 1969 to continue the work of previous group of experts on wood protection that had been set up, following an Austrian proposal in 1965, by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), in Paris, France.

Initially IRG was composed of 22 scientists from nine countries, Austria, Belgium, France, the German Federal Republic, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Today the Group has more than 350 members from 54 countries around the world.

The IRG 42 Annual Meeting was held in Queenstown, New Zealand on 8-12 May 2011.
