The International Research Group on Wood Protection is a multi-national organisation dealing with all aspects of wood protection. It has an annual conference, where many members of COST FP1303 participate and present current research. Below are some papers presented at IRG conferences during the lifetime of the COST FP1303 with common themes to those of the Action:
