Cancellation policy

The Mass Timber Seminar is coming to Scandinavia for the first time. The seminar takes place the day after INTER 2026, making it easier to attend both events.

This first edition brings together leading architects, engineers, and researchers to discuss the most relevant developments in timber construction today. The seminar brings together Scandinavian and international specialists to discuss current approaches, structural solutions and built case studies.

Participants will examine emerging approaches to design strategies, hybrid systems, and sustainable applications of engineered timber—topics that are shaping the future of construction in the region.

The seminar also creates opportunities to exchange ideas, strengthen connections, and build a network between professionals working in timber construction.

CONTENTS

This seminar highlights the latest developments in contemporary timber engineering, with a strong focus on practical solutions and high‑performance design. The program explores the growing potential of hybrid systems—ranging from steel‑to‑timber strategies to advanced timber–timber connections—and examines how these approaches support efficient, sustainable structures. Key topics include optimization methods for hybrid systems, large‑span timber engineering, and the relationship between structural detailing and architectural form.

Through technical presentations and major case studies, participants will gain clear insights into current best practices, innovative structural solutions, and the role of timber in shaping both performance and design in cutting‑edge Scandinavian and international projects.

  • Hybrid structures
  • Innovative connections
  • Large span solutions
  • Case studies and major projects

AUDIENCE

This seminar is ideal for professionals who want to:

  • Deepen their technical knowledge of timber construction

  • Learn how to design timber buildings with precision and long-term performance in mind

  • Understand current developments in timber construction

The seminar is intended for designers, structural engineers, contractors and building site supervisors working in timber construction.

Throughout the day you will have the opportunity to share your experiences and network with the other participants and industry experts.
