ECWM12
12th European Conference on Wood Modification
October 26-27, 2026
The 12th European Conference on Wood Modification (ECWM12) will take place in Dresden, Germany, on October 26-27, 2026. ECWM conferences provide a forum for research organisations and companies, as well as stakeholders, architects, and project managers to learn about the latest developments in wood modification, to discuss them with renowned experts, and to build networks in an informal and friendly atmosphere. All types of wood modification are covered. This includes thermal, chemical, or impregnation modification, as well as related technologies, such as microwave, plasma and enzymatic modification. The programme will also include testing methods and standards, environmental issues, quality control, and aspects of commercialisation and markets.
ECWM conferences were established in 2003 (Ghent), and in the same year, the European TMT Workshops were started in Dresden, organised by IHD. Both conferences have been successful, but there have always been some overlaps. Now, as part of ECWM12, the TMT Workshop series will be integrated into ECWM. The conference programme is arranged by the scientific committee. The official language is English.
