Cancelled - Nordic Biofibre Conference 2005 - Cancelled

Dear all!
It is my sad duty to inform you that the conference has been cancelled. We
didn't get enough registrations. The cost and travel time seems to be the
major reason for not participating. The next time, hopefully in January, we
will meet at a place that is cheaper and easier to get to. We will get back to
you with more information as soon as possible. Meanwhile, please excuse us for
any inconvenience we may have caused.
Best Regards
Per Eriksson

A new start for the Nordic Biofibre.net
  Renewable, fibre based materials is a fast growing area and the Nordic countries are well positioned in this field. It is important to have one strong network in the Nordic region where everyone active in research, development, production, marketing and promotion of biocomposites can meet and find partners.
A constituting meeting and election of a permanent board for the Nordic biofibre network will be held in Trondheim the 14/11 at 18.30, the evening before the Nordic Biofibre Conference 2005. The meeting is open to members and others interested.
