Two years after EcoReFibre project started in May 2022, when 20 organizations from seven countries launched the initiative, the consortium met at DIEFFENBACHER in Eppingen and TOMRA in Mülheim-Kärlich to demonstrate the application of research findings and discuss the interim results of the project.
The digiNEB webinar delved into the current state of digitalisation in wood construction. The event emphasised the advancement of integration across design, planning, pre-fabrication, and construction. Companies leading the structural timber design and manufacturing in Europe highlighted wood construction’s potential to amplify the New European Bauhaus (NEB). The need of research, innovation, and education was underscored to strengthen wood’s competitiveness within the construction sector.
The project aims to offer to Social Partners concrete recommendations to tackle specific challenges in the Woodworking Industries (WI) through strengthened social dialogue.
