From Jolanda.Roux at up.ac.za Thu Sep 4 12:59:07 2008 From: Jolanda.Roux at up.ac.za (Jolanda Roux) Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:59:07 +0200 Subject: [IUFRO RG 7.02 FORPATH] ICPP Forest Pathology Subject Committee meeting Message-ID: <48BFDB9B.515E.007E.0@up.ac.za> Dear Forest Pathologists, A number of us have just returned from the 9th International Congress of Plant Pathology in Torino, Italy. This was a wonderful event and provided us with a good opportunity to catch up with each other and the latest happenings in plant and forest pathology. We also had the opportunity to have a meeting of the ISPP Forest Pathology Subject Matter Committee and go on a very interesting field trip to the Aosta Valley. We would like to once again thank all our Italian colleagues for their hospitality and all the hard work they put into making this a memorable experience! The ISPP Forest Pathology Committee aims to ensure representation of Forest Pathology at ISPP, especially at the International Plant Pathology congresses. Furthermore it aims to ensure a forest pathology field tour at these international meetings, as well as facilitate communication between forest pathologists of the world, as well as between IUFRO and ISPP. For your information I have attached the minutes of the meeting held in Torino. It also includes a photo of all present at the meeting. I invite all forest pathologists to read through the minutes (they are short) and to participate in the committee to ensure appropriate representation of forest pathology. Any suggestions/comments by you on any of the topics would also be appreciated.

The deadline for abstract submission is 31 October 2008 and early registration ($NZ 760+GST) closes 30 November 2008. This meeting will bring together forest pathologists, entomologists and weed scientists to examine forest biosecurity issues. The broad scope of this conference will provide opportunities to interact and find common ground with researchers that we may not normally meet with. At this conference, "biosecurity" refers to the exclusion, eradication or effective management of established pests to protect the diverse benefits gained from forests. Please visit the website http://forestbiosecurity.com/ for further information and registration details.
