Dear all,
While some of you have already provided us with highly valuable comments on the services
IUFRO provides we would like to bring the IUFRO Benefits Questionnaire back to the
attention of those that have not yet had an opportunity to share in.
Please let us know how you feel about the services IUFRO provides and fill in the IUFRO
Benefits Questionnaire by 10 October 2008. It'll take you no more than 10 minutes to
answer the 13 questions at: http://www.iufro.org/questionnaire
Your opinion is essential for the scientific progress of our Union and will also be an
important guideline for the IUFRO Review 2008/09 and the development of the IUFRO Strategy
2011-2014.
Thanks a lot for your kind cooperation and for spreading the word among scientists
interested in IUFRO!
Best wishes,
Claudia
PS. Please feel free to contact us at prueller(a)iufro.org with any questions you might
have. You are also most welcome to request a Word version of the Questionnaire (also
available in French and Spanish) by email.
