        LNEC and the University of Coimbra organize the World Conference on Timber Engineering

        08 September 2025


        LNEC, together with the University of Coimbra (UC), will organize the World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE) in July 2029, in the city of Coimbra. This conference is the largest scientific and technical event worldwide in the field of timber engineering and construction, bringing together over 800 participants and counting on the support of the largest companies in this sector.


        The possibility of bringing an event of this importance for the wood products and timber construction sector to Portugal for the first time is the result of a joint effort by LNEC and UC, with the support of SerQ and a wide range of public and private entities that recognize Portugal's potential in this strategic area.


        In 2029, the world of wood construction will find in Portugal a stage of excellence for sharing knowledge and promoting innovation.
