The conference on the north-east coast of Australia in tropical Cairns was the first major event of the total of 16 Units of Division 5 after the Corona-related break in presence. A total of 140 representatives from the field of forestry and wood sciences from a wide range of cultures from 26 countries attended the event. The conference was hosted by the local IUFRO committee and primarily organised and run by scientists from the University of Sunshine Coast. The venue was the Cairns Convention Centre. The Thünen Institute of Wood Research presented the latest results from the field of wood species identification. In a current research project, artificial intelligence was used for the first time to identify volumetric representations of wood fragments based on µCT data.
