*At the EVOLTREE 2019 Governing Board Meeting
<http://www.evoltree.eu/index.php/events/icalrepeat.detail/2019/09/16/242/-/…>
in Aberdeen in September, an appraisal was made of all the network
activities and resources in order to help shape the current phase of
EVOLTREE (2019-2022).*
As a result of the decisions made and approved, only certain activities
will carry on, while some will be prioritised and *two new exciting
activities* will be initiated in early 2020.
*Find out which activities and resources will be on offer from 2019-2022*

*The EVOLTREE 2019 Scientific Seminar, held on the morning of 17th
September 2019 at the James Hutton Institute
<http://www.evoltree.eu/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&subid=58&ur…>in
Aberdeen, explored the ways in which forest tree genetics can be applied to
increase local adaptation and resilience in future forests.*
During a field trip, participants learnt about the management and multiple
uses of the Caledonian pinewood private estate, *Glen Tanar*, as well as
its demographic history and the current knowledge on genetic variation of
the native Caledonian pinewoods.

of Avignon in France from 27 to 31 January 2020.*
Organised by the H2020 project GenTree, it is for scientists in the fields
of *evolutionary biology, genomics, functional ecology, conservation
genetics and political sciences* interested in forests as model organisms
and in applying results of these fields to the global challenge of
sustainable forest management.

sessions*:
- Genomes and the environment
- Local adaptation of climate change-related traits
- Conserving and using genetic diversity
- Evolutionary management of forests
and the event also includes* t**wo training sessions *which form part of
the EVOTLREE *2020 training programme* and for which a limited number of
grants will be available for reimbursement of expenses:
- Genomics training session (max 70 people)
- Wikipedia edit-a-thon training session (max 25 people)

SUMMER SCHOOL IMPRESSIONS
*Photo by Lifegenmon*
*"One of the most useful summer schools that you can do as a young
scientist. Highly recommended, as it is highly practical and very focused.
" *
*"Thanks to the summer school I have a much better understanding of the
peer review process, learned some important tips and tricks to pay
attention to when submitting an article..."*
These are just a couple of some very positive impressions that students of
the *2019 LIFEGENMON and EVOLTREE Summer school* took away with them last
August.
The summer school was on *scientific writing, reviewing and publishing and
on putting forest genetic monitoring knowledge transfer into practice* and
took place in Pokljuka from 19 to 23 August on a high plateau above the
lake Bohinj in Triglav National park in Slovenia.
