1. INTRODUCTION<br />
COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection<br />
Invitations were sent out to research organisations and universities, which are known<br />
possibly being active. It was asked for contributions to this state of the art document.<br />
One organisation replied, however in the near future when work program in detail will<br />
be circled by the COST E 22 web side more input can be expected.<br />
This document is structured to offer contact information for participants and an introduction<br />
to their principal interests and research expertise within the scope of the COST<br />
Action E22. The second section within this report gives more detail on specific activities<br />
related to the three working groups within the COST Action E22 (Annex 2). Finally<br />
the report summarises and concludes on the state of the art in Austria.<br />
