Dialogue field 1: Advancements in timber constructions

Today, wood is still most often used as a building material or to make furniture. NRP 66 aims to develop better adhesive bonding and wood-based construction materials, to encourage more widespread use of hardwood and to improve building acoustics, earthquake protection and product manufacturing.
