The FTP C2009 Conference Programme has been updated with new presentations and speakers. Innovation and bio energy is given more time. The conference is already EFORWOOD ToSIA workshop has such a big interest that the workshop has had to be divided into two seminars and the Researchers Forum cannot accept any more presentations.

The registration is still open!
 

Before the actual start of the conference there are two open side events, the Researcher’s Forum and the EFORWOOD ToSIA demonstration workshop.
