Note that due to the recent global pandemic situation, the conference sequence has switched to odd years. In 2023, the WCTE will be held in Oslo, Norway. During this event, the selection of the WCTE 2027 venue will be made by the WCTE – Coordinating Council. Having the conference every second year has shown to be an appropriate pace.

About WCTE - Coordinating Council
The WCTE Coordinating Council (WCTE-CC) was formed between 1996 and 1998 through the initiative of the chairmen of the conferences of that era, to provide consistency and harmony in the naming and scheduling of the international conference series on timber engineering. The advice and comments of international key stakeholders in the field were sought and this became the basis for the Council operations.
At present, WCTE-CC is comprised of the three preceding WCTE conference chairmen and their respective conference secretariats. This means, three formal votes, in case voting is required to make a decision, e.g. selection of the next WCTE venue. The Chairman and Secretary of the current WCTE 2023 (Oslo, Norway) will be observing members, until the end of WCTE 2023, at which time they replace the representatives from WCTE 2016 (Vienna, Austria) in the Council.
The current WCTE-CC members are:
- Wolfgang Winter and Prof. Josef Eberhardsteiner, Austria (WCTE 2016)
- Jung-Kwon Oh and Dr. Kug-bo Shim, Rep. of Korea (WCTE 2018)
- Juan José Ugarte Gurruchaga and Dr. Sebastian Carcamo (WCTE 2021)
- Jan Willem van de Kuilen, Germany, CC secretariat
- Tomi Toratti, Finland, CC secretariat
The chairmen and representation of WCTE2023: Chair Prof. Kjell Arne Malo, Co-chair Prof. Anders Nyrud, Co-Chair Dr. Kristine Nore and Executive Secretary Mr Knut Werner Lindeberg Alsén, are currently invited as observers in the WCTE-CC and will be formally joining WCTE-CC as explained previously.
The contact persons for WCTE2025, headed by Prof. Keith Crews, are also invited to attend the WCTE-CC meetings during WCTE2023 as observers.
