On July 27th and 28th we received the visit of the ELMEN EEIG monitor, Patricia Serrano, representing the European LIFE program, with whom the partners of LIFE Wood forFuture have held the second general coordination meeting of the project.

The first meeting was held at the ETS of Building Engineering of the University of Granada. The different technical advances of the project in all its phases within the value chain have been evaluated. To highlight, the development of the demonstration nursery of the Diputación de Granada, the Agrupación de Productores Marjal, the approval of the Poplar Forest Model by the Junta de Andalucía, the developments in the measurement of the carbon absorption of poplar trees for the sale of emission compensation credits, the measurement of environmental indicators (air pollution, soil nitrate absorption, biodiversity, etc.), and the development of the environmental indicators (air pollution, soil nitrate absorption, biodiversity, etc.), nitrate absorption from the soil, biodiversity and temperature buffering, fundamentally), the characterization of poplar wood for its incorporation in structural standards, the development of the wood inspection system in tree and TIK board, and the development of structural wood products MCLam and MCLamBS.

In terms of commercialization and transfer of results, the recent creation of the company IberoLamTimber&Technology, a spinoff of the UGR, as a mechanism for the transfer of structural products, and the three real demonstrative actions of these products should be highlighted: 1) Single-family house in Ogíjares (Granada), made with MCLam, captained by the studio Bonsai Arquitectos; 2) A loft in USC-Pemade to demonstrate the MCLamBS product; 3) The public building of AVRA-Junta de Andalucía of 7 floors in La Azulejera, Granada, to demonstrate the MCLamBS product, as a residence of apartments for young people.

In the second day, a representation of the project partners visited the IFAPA-Camino del Purchil facilities where environmental variable meters have been installed, a demonstration plot of the Agrupación Marjal, the nursery of the Diputación de Granada, the Azucarera de la Salud in Santa Fe as a possible headquarters of IBEROLAM Timber&Technology offered by the City Council of this town, and the Azucarera de San Isidro, owned by the University, where the works of the UIMA (Structural Wood Research Unit of Andalusia) are progressing successfully as the first laboratory to be installed in this new campus of the University of Granada.

The whole of the two days was a great success because of the progress of the project in only two years of project, some of them beyond those raised in the candidacy.
