From Hugh.Evans at forestry.gsi.gov.uk Tue Sep 13 12:55:09 2011 From: Hugh.Evans at forestry.gsi.gov.uk (Evans, Hugh) Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:55:09 +0100 Subject: [IUFRO RG 7.02 FORPATH] EU COST Action FP1002 PERMIT - opportunities for funded Short Term Scientific Missions Message-ID: <29A085DC3526964990B488F987FD6D9A06462423@exch1.domforestry.forestry.gov.uk> Dear Colleagues, A new EU COST Action FP1002 PERMIT (Pathway Evaluation and pest Risk Management In Transport) is now up and running and we had a successful science meeting in Belgrade during May of this year, with a further meeting to take place in Warsaw in December. We are keen to have more interest in the Action which deals with pathways for international movement of pests (both insects and pathogens) and what generic risk mitigation measures can be applied to reduce pest transfers. We are also looking at how people through their behaviour and perceptions can influence pest risks. More information can be found on the Action website (http://www.forestry.gov.uk/fr/permit). For those readers in COST countries (see http://www.cost.eu/about_cost/cost_countries) we also have the valuable capacity to fund Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) for Early Stage Researchers (i.e. within 8 years of post doctorate or equivalent qualification) to spend time in other COST countries to gain experience and work on topics related to the aims of the Action. Essentially, a grant of up to 2500 Euros can be offered to fund travel and subsistence. Since the Action is still relatively new, we are under-subscribed for 2011 and would welcome applicants who could carry out STSMs before the end of December. More details can be found on the Action website or by emailing me or the STSM coordinator, Dr Rimvys Vasaitis in at SLU in Sweden (Rimvys.Vasaitis at slu.se). There will be further opportunities during the next three years of the project too. We look forward to your applications!! Please let me know if you would like further details of PERMIT.

I hope that you will find this new feature useful and enjoy reading about some of the forest pathology activities internationally. We encourage you all to send contributions (big or small) to us throughout the year and we will incorporate it in the newsletter. There are so many things happening that would be of interest to others that we never hear about, so please use this medium to tell others about it. Your contribution might just be the motivation to others, eg. a young forest pathologist, who needs a bit of encouragement to do something great! Let your voices be heard!
