Inhalt / Contents The COST action E40 "Innovative utilisation and products of large diameter timber" deals with a very specific topic within the forestry-wood-chain and wants to develop solutions for a proper use of large diameter timber. A conference in Biel/Switzerland within this COST action had the focus on large diameter timber as a problem or a chance. In order to find a proper answer to these very challenging questions, the conference was structured in several parts:

• Session 1 - political statements by invited speakers from forestry, wood processing and wood research including a round table discussion. Controversial points of view were to be presented and discussed.
• Session 2 - presentations concerning chances and potentials of quality grading referring to the specific properties of large diameter timber
• Session 3 - presentations showing appropriate processing technologies and products for large diameter timber
• Poster Session - providing a survey on various research activities concerning large diameter timber
• Conference summary and adoption of a conference communiqué

The proceedings provide a documentation of all the various sessions within the conference and provides some answers to open questions so as to develop a successful processing of large diameter wood.
