Yesterday, Thursday, a group of students studying dual vocational training in the cycle “Interior works, decoration and rehabilitation” in the CIFP Coroso-Ribeira (province of A Coruña) have known the LIFE Wood for Future through various activities carried out in the facilities of the Structural Wood Engineering Platform (PEMADE) integrated in the University of Santiago de Compostela and located in the EPSE in the campus of Lugo; visit made at the request of their accompanying teacher José María Jiménez Bernal.
LIFE Wood for Future researchers have made the presentation of the various actions of the project, telling the evolution and current status of the same, with special attention to the impact on the entire value chain and the good reception of the Granada society.
The group was able to see in situ some of the work being carried out with the collaboration of researchers from the UGR, such as the visual classification of poplar wood, work among others, which will enable its characterization and subsequent entry into standard for structural use.
They were also able to visit the PEMADE equipment, specifically the unique infrastructure for mechanical testing, and the equipment that allows the manufacture of prototypes of the different materials under development MCLam and MCLam BS, as well as samples of them.
LIFE Wood for Future considers of vital importance that wood construction is integrated in the professional training of the construction sector so that there are qualified professionals, something essential for the implementation of this effective way of building that contributes to the adaptation and mitigation of climate change.
To end the day, we visited the Impulso Verde building, a building built entirely with local wood and FSC certification of Complete Project, under the LIFE Lugo + Biodynamic; thus checking the social value of a demonstrative building that allows to verify in situ the behavior and viability of local wood as a structural material.

The Civitas-UGR Chair presented yesterday afternoon the book “Trends and innovation in sustainable construction”, in an event led by the director of the Chair, Mercedes García de Quesada. The presentation was held at the Royal Hospital, headquarters of the Rectorate of the University of Granada.
The Poplar Producers Association of Granada Marjal offers this weekend a course on management of vegetation cover in poplar groves for soil regeneration and improving biodiversity and productivity. This program, open to all interested parties and free of charge, will be taught by permaculture expert Radko Tichalvsky at the headquarters of the Institute of Agricultural and Fisheries Training and Research (IFAPA) of the Junta de Andalucía (Camino de Purchil s / n) on Friday November 15 from 16.30 to 18.30 hours. On Saturday, November 16, a practical training will take place in several poplar groves in the Vega de Granada.
The visit to the wooden structures of the Alhambra and the Palacio de los Vargas in Granada, led by Ignacio Arto, professor at the University of Granada, has put the finishing touch to the M5 training module on durability, protection, diagnosis and rehabilitation given by the spinoff Iberolam Timber Technology, created for the transfer of the LIFE Wood for Future project.
The coordinator of the LIFE Wood for Future project, Antolino Gallego, participated last Thursday, November 7, in a Bioeconomy conference organized by the Málaga Provincial Council at La Noria, a social innovation center located in the capital of Málaga. Professor Gallego presented the talk "Structural bioproducts made in Andalucía" within the Bioproducts and Circularity panel.
