Every year, experts from the Wood Research Institute assess hundreds of completed wooden structures. These inspections provide experience with structural deficiencies and hidden causes of defects, which the lecturers will share.

The main goal of this activity is to improve the quality of wooden buildings in practice and to systematically transfer knowledge to everyone involved in their construction, from designers to investors.
