Abstract

Wood Properties for Ireland (WoodProps), funded by the Forest Sector Development Division of DAFM, is a joint Programme between the Timber Engineering Research Group (TERG) at NUI Galway (NUIG) and the Centre for Wood Science and Technology at Edinburgh Napier University. This COFORD Connects Note summarises the work carried out in WoodProps on:
▪ Characterisation and grading of Irish-grown timber as structural material for better utilisation and diversification of the forest resources.
▪ Work on European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) standardisation committees to support and protect Irish timber interests.
▪ Exchange of knowledge related to timber quality, innovation in wood products and providing updates on standards with the forestry and processing industries.
▪ Providing updates of information and resources in support of timber construction in Ireland.
