📢 We are delighted to announce that Dr. Davor Kržišnik from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, will serve as an Invited Speaker for the session on “Wood Science, Production Chains, Fuelwood and Trade” at the 5th International Electronic Conference on –Forests at the Crossroads: Integrating Ecology, Technological Innovation, and Governance ( ), which will be virtually held in from 14 to 16 September 2026.

🎤 Dr. Davor Kržišnik is an assistant professor at the University of Ljubljana’s Biotechnical Faculty, Department of Wood Science and Technology. His research focuses on wood durability, moisture dynamics, and material modification for long-lasting, low-impact use. He coordinates activities within the ARIS program Forest-wood value chain and climate change: transition to circular bioeconomy (P4-0430, 2022–2027), which strengthens sustainable, local forest-based value chains from tree to high-value product. The work links genomics, wood properties, and advanced modification to improve performance in construction and across the forest-wood value chain. Recent outputs include contact-charred softwoods, thermally treated wood, and mycelium-based composites, combining rigorous laboratory and field testing.

✨ Don't miss the opportunity to interact with Dr. Kržišnik!
