Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry

On 13 November 2026 at 10:30, the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry will host a seminar by Professor Arantxa Eceiza from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Spain. Professor Eceiza’s research focuses on polyurethanes, polymers derived from renewable resources, nanocomposites and functional materials. She has published more than 260 scientific articles in international journals. The seminar will be of interest to lecturers, students and industry representatives working in or interested in polymer chemistry and the development of new materials.

On 3rd December the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry is hosting an informative conference on innovative, science-based solutions for soil improvement in agriculture, crop production, and horticulture. The conference will feature presentations on the latest research into soil improvement using microbiological and plant-based products. The goal of the conference is to introduce the general public to research conducted in Latvia that has practical applications in sustainable agriculture. The conference is open to all interested parties, free fo charge. It will be held in Latvian. The event is organised within the project "Production and application of a microbiological preparation under farm conditions for increasing yield in horticulture and crop farming enterprises ( Subt4Potato)".

The EPF Congress is the flagship event of the European Polymer Federation (EPF). The Congress serves as a unique platform fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among scientists in polymer chemistry, physics, processing, composites, and soft matter, as well as stakeholders from the polymer materials industry. Since the EPF Congress launch in 2001, it has become a major international platform for sharing knowledge, building collaborations, and shaping the future of polymer research in the EU and Worldwide.
