A workshop on wood micromechanics was held on Wednesday 13th October 2010 at the University of Glasgow. This was a
Telford Institute type I workshop which aimed to be a scoping exercise to determine the depth and breadth of Scottish interest in this particular specialised topic of research.
A full programme is available and it was clear that there was interest in coordinating efforts within Scotland in this area and that mathematical modelling could have considerable impact.
The conclusion was that a type II workshop should be proposed, to define and refine the pan-Scottish critical mass of research within the topic, in order to exploit this for the benefit of the Scottish research sector as a whole.
A Yahoo group has also been formed, to discuss these issues further.
