The EWLP 2012 - 12th European Workshop on Lignocellulosics and Pulp - is following the successful, over 20 years history of the EWLP workshops. The aim is again to assemble in Finland a fruitful combination of multidisciplinary experts around the exiting field of lignocelluloses research. The workshop will take place in a peaceful and scenic location at seaside in Espoo, not far from Helsinki downtown. A three-day scientific programme focusing on the latest topics and scientific achievement will be complemented with a networking social programme.

We warmly welcome you to Finland and the World Design Capital for the year 2012!
