Student session Master Holzbau
In addition to sessions prepared by professionals from the timber construction industry, following last year’s example, there will be a session in which three university graduates will publicly defend their engineering and master’s theses. This format is familiar from doctoral dissertations, where the thesis assumptions and research results are presented in the form of a presentation, and in addition to the supervisor and reviewers, invited guests also listen to the presentation. In the case of the Holzbau Master session, these guests will be participants of the ForumHolzbau Polska 2026 . Everyone will be able to enter the hall and listen to the presented theses. Applications were sent to us by universities from all over Poland. The following were selected for the final session:
The Holzbau Master session is an opportunity to meet recent graduates entering the job market. Presentation skills, public speaking and the ability to formulate arguments are undoubtedly great assets. The topic of a graduate’s thesis usually reflects their specific interests and indicates the field they have been exploring for many months by studying the literature on the subject, researching the market environment and performing detailed analyses.
We hope that the Holzbau Master session will open up career paths for them in the timber construction industry and enable them to connect with future employers or business partners.
