THE 17th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM OF
INDONESIAN WOOD RESEARCH SOCIETY (IWoRS)
“Innovations in Forest Products Technology for Resilient Archipelagos and Global Competitiveness”
About IWoRS
The International Symposium of IWoRS (Indonesian Wood Research Society) is an international scientific forum held as part of the Indonesian Wood Researcher Society (MAPEKI)’s efforts to gain global recognition in the field of wood science and technology.
First initiated in 2009, the IWoRS symposium represents a significant step in MAPEKI’s vision to become an internationally recognized organization. Since then, it has served as a regular platform that brings together researchers, academics, industry practitioners, and government institutions from both Indonesia and abroad to share and discuss the latest advancements in forestry and wood science.
The symposium covers a wide range of critical topics including biocomposites, wood characteristics and quality improvement, engineering and design, forest product chemistry, and general forestry. IWoRS aims to strengthen global competitiveness and island resilience through sustainable innovation in forest-based products.
