International congress Forum Wood Construction

Hartmut Hering, director of the agency hhconseil, specialists in wood construction technology and energy efficient building, is the organiser of the forum bois construction in Beaune, now to become annual :

« The Burgundy region has opened its doors without hesitation. Productive, rich with forests and strong traditions in wood construction, Burgundy is within easy reach from anywhere in France, but also from Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria. Those are excellent conditions for our annual, cross border meeting for experts working in our field ... architects, civil engineers, construction firms, investors, industry, teachers and researchers ... within this highly productive geographic concentration of professional excellence in wood construction.

Regional support programs like the Pole for buildings for tomorrow (Pôle bâtiments de demain), the neighbourhood of the faculty ENSAM Cluny, the presence of strong centres for professional training, specialised architects and engineers, of some of the French leaders in the wood industry, a lively lot of wood construction companies ... all provide an exceptional basis for our forum. Bourgogne Développement and Beaune Saône Auxois Développement provide continuous help in establishing the forum as an annual event, after a very successful first edition ».
