We are a team of motivated students from the Bern University of Applied Sciences, all studying in the field of wood. As students of the wood sector, we share a strong connection to the material itself and to the people, cultures, and industries around it.

Together, we are organizing INTERFOB 2026, an international student conference that brings together students from across the world who are engaged in forestry, wood technology, and the broader wood industry. INTERFOB is held annually in a different countrys and is entirely planned and executed by students of the host institution.

The core idea of INTERFOB 2026 is “Wood – Connecting Worlds.”
Wood connects nature and technology, tradition and innovation, education and industry. Through lectures, excursions, company visits, and social events, INTERFOB creates a platform for exchange, collaboration, and international networking among students and professionals.

As the organizing committee, we are responsible for every aspect of the event – from the academic program and logistics to partnerships and social activities. Our goal is to create an inspiring environment where ideas are shared, connections are built, and long-lasting international friendships emerge.

We warmly invite students from all across the world to join INTERFOB 2026 and experience the power of international exchange.
At the same time, we welcome companies and partners from the wood sector who wish to support and engage with the next generation of professionals.
