Context date October 2009 The Centre for Timber Engineering is part of Napier University , a university in Edinburgh , Scotland . Introduction The Centre for Timber Engineering CTE is based at Edinburgh Napier University and is an education & research unit now within the newly formed Forest Products Research Institute FPRI . It is the only centre of its kind within the UK providing research, consultancy, information, education and training related to the use of timber in construction and engineering. CTE was established in January 2002 following the results of a feasibility study carried out by the timber industry and Scottish Enterprise. In 2010 the CTE became one of four Research Centres within Edinburgh Napier s FPRI as its activities had expanded considerably both in financial and subject matter terms. CTE is the engineering arm of the FPRI and is led by Professor Abdy Kermani. CTE supports the increasing use of timber for high value engineering and construction applications through Education Research Knowledge Transfer With the drive towards more sustainable development and in turn the increasing use of timber in construction, and the introduction of Eurocode 5, one of CTE s prime objectives is to help meet the significant shortage of specialist education and technical expertise in timber engineering. To help meet this need, CTE plays an instrumental role in the development and delivery of the following unique courses the BSc Hons Civil & Timber Engineering and the MSc Timber Engineering .

The International Association of Engineering and Food IAEF is a global body of around 25 delegates representing professional engineering societies including food engineering activities. This organization is mainly in charge of identifying the sites for ICEF events. ICEF, International Congress on Engineering and Food , is the most important congress in the field of food engineering. It is usually held in a four year cycle at different locations. The other main assignment of IAEF is to elect its President who is the organiser of the next ICEF event.
