Dear All,
Join the global forest health research community in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, from August 9-13, 2027, for the IUFRO conference hosted by Division 7 - Forest Health under the theme "Global Partnerships and Sustainability." We welcome the participation of units from other IUFRO Divisions to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration under the conference theme.
This international conference will bring together researchers from around the world who are dedicated to advancing the understanding and stewardship of healthy forest ecosystems. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their research, exchange ideas, and build meaningful collaborations across all IUFRO divisions. We especially emphasize the importance of global and community partnerships in advancing sustainable forest management, and invite all perspectives, including Indigenous knowledge systems and research approaches.
With a strong focus on forest health, the conference will feature sessions on forest insects and pathogens, invasive species, pest management, and forest damage assessment. Researchers working in complementary fields, including silviculture, forest genetics, and biodiversity, are warmly invited to contribute to this dynamic and interdisciplinary scientific program. In line with the conference theme, contributions that explore sustainability through cross-disciplinary collaboration are welcome. We hope that you are able to join us in Edmonton in 2027.

Dear Colleagues of IUFRO Division 2,
I hope this message finds you well.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I am pleased to announce the
upcoming international conference entitled “Sustaining Acacia Plantations
in a Dynamic Changing World”.
The conference will be held from 5–8 October 2026 in Hanoi, Vietnam.
This event aims to provide an international platform for researchers,
practitioners, and industry stakeholders to exchange knowledge and
experiences on acacia genetics, breeding, silviculture, forest health, wood
products, and market development, particularly in the context of climate
change and evolving global demands.
Please find attached the conference brochure, which includes detailed
information on the themes, program structure, important dates, and
registration procedures.
We warmly invite you to:
- Register for the conference via conference website
https://iufroacacia2026.com and actively participate in the discussions;
- Submit abstracts and contribute oral or poster presentations;
- Share this announcement with your colleagues, partners, and relevant
networks who may be interested in attending and presenting at the
conference.
Your participation and support would greatly contribute to the success of
this event and strengthen collaboration within the IUFRO community.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to Hanoi in October 2026.
With kind regards,
Dr. Nguyen Duc Kien
Co-ordinator of IUFRO Working Party 2.08.07 "Genetics and Silviculture of
Acacias"
