Life Timber for all
On 12 September 2025, we held the kick-off event of the LIFE Timber for All project in Santiago de Compostela: Timber–Concrete Hybrid Structures: Boosting Sustainable and Industrialised Construction in Galicia.
The event took place at the Training Centre of the Fundación Laboral de la Construcción and marked the official launch of a project aimed at decarbonising the sector through innovative hybrid solutions.
🌱 During the morning session, the results of the LIFE Wood for Future, project were presented, demonstrating the potential of locally sourced timber for more sustainable construction. The objectives and work lines of LIFE TIMBER FOR ALL were also introduced.
🏗️ In the afternoon, participants attended site visits to buildings featuring hybrid timber–concrete slabs, where they were able to see first-hand the real application of these construction typologies in Galicia.
