It is very important to improve the properties of these products, making them more competitive and reliable. This applies particularly to larger, more complicated structures where timber is becoming a realistic alternative to other construction materials.
The orthotropic properties of timber are well known - strong and stable along the grain, weak and susceptible to movement across the grain. Combining wood with other materials, to achieve composite action, enables the strength of wood to be realized and its shortcomings to be strengthened or eliminated.
COST Action FP1004, “Enhance mechanical properties of timber, engineered wood products and timber structures” provides a network for learning and development in a range of connected topics. This conference will present and record various methods for improving wood with other materials. It brings researchers and practitioners together to learn about various applications, and enables them to take part in discussions about future research and development.
The purpose of the COST program is to strengthen Europe and other countries in scientific and technological research, for peaceful purposes, through the support of cooperation and interaction between European researchers. This conference adheres to these principles. It will be an extraordinary opportunity to hear presentations from highly specialist, invited speakers and to participate in debate, in the island of Cyprus, which is located at the crossroads of three continents Europe, Asia and Africa in the Northern-east part of the Mediterranean Sea.

Timber and wood-based engineered products are important as structural materials, especially in the drive towards sustainable technologies and construction. It is very important to improve the properties of these products, making them more competitive and reliable.
Research ensures that wood and wood products are at the forefront of the move to more sustainable construction. The Czech Technical University has built a reputation as a leader in experimental research and it is very appropriate that the Department of Steel and Timber Structures should host this conference.
COST Action FP1004, “Enhance mechanical properties of timber, engineered wood products and timber structures” provides a network for learning and development in a range of connected topics. This conference is convened as a forum for Early Stage Researchers to present their work. It brings young and experienced researchers together, to learn from one another and to build networks for future research and development. It actively promotes the COST principles of cooperation and interaction and the organizers hope that this will be instilled in the new generation of researchers.
The theme that binds the topics is experimental work. The conferences sessions are: Test Methods; Structural Performance; Composites and Reinforcement; Connections. These are at the heart of COST Action FP1004. Proceedings are a key output for the COST Action in defining current work in Europe. Combined with the network built between delegates, they provide a point of reference from which future collaboration will build.
