Japan 2025

International Symposium "Wood, health and sound"

17 September 2025, 13:00-17:15 JST (UTC+9)

Promoting the use of sustainable wood as a renewable resource is essential for the realization of a sustainable society. Beyond its role as a building material, wood is increasingly recognized for its potential to enhance human health and quality of life. This event brings together professionals and experts from diverse fields—including architects, medical doctors, and musicians—to explore both the potentials and challenges of wood utilization. Topics include cross-sector collaboration and the integration of scientific knowledge. Together, we will envision how sustainable wood use can contribute to a more sustainable society and a more comfortable daily life. This symposium is being organised in close cooperation between the forest-rich countries Japan and Austria.
