WORLD CONFERENCE ON TIMBER ENGINEERING 2025 VIDEOS

WCTE 2025 Program

The University of Queensland and the ARC Advance Timber Hub were proud to host and organise the World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2025) which was held in Brisbane, Australia from the 22nd to 26th June 2025 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.

WCTE 2025 is the major event within the timber engineering society held in a biennial rhythm with consecutive conferences in Europe, America, Asia & Pacific. This was the first time it was held in Australia — and Brisbane embraced the honour with open arms. Attendees enjoyed sunny winter days, vibrant dining experiences, and exciting day trips that showcased the best the region has to offer.

WCTE 2025 attracted more than 950 delegates (inclusive of 280 students) from 44 countries, with more that 730 presentations, including 700 papers accepted for Proceedings. Notably, Australia led the attendance with 250 participants, followed by Japan (127), Canada (68), the U.S.A. (60), New Zealand (52), and Germany (44).

Participants had the opportunity to share ideas on nearly any subject related to timber engineering and architecture, from codes of practice, regulations, and legislations, to innovations, new practices, and future trends of bio-based sustainable and circular building materials used in construction. WCTE 2025 reflects the start-of-the-art in timber engineering.
