Dear Colleagues,
on 18-22 July 2016, FAO Headquarters, Rome, Italy, the FAO Committee on Forestry (COFO, http://www.fao.org/about/meetings/cofo/en/ )
will be held in the framework of World Forest Week.
The Committee on Forestry (COFO) is the highest FAO Forestry statutory body. The biennial sessions of COFO (held at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy) bring together heads of forest services and other senior government officials to identify emerging policy and technical issues, to seek solutions and to advise FAO and others on appropriate action. Other international organizations and, increasingly, non-governmental groups participate in COFO. Participation in COFO is open to all FAO member countries.
The key themes of the Session seek to respond directly to the milestone agreements of 2015 and investigate how forests and sustainable forest management can contribute to the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals.
Together with the World Forest Week, COFO will consider how the full potential of forests, including forests’ contributions to livelihoods, food security, jobs, gender equality and many other global development goals including the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreements, can best be unlocked.
Close collaboration of the FAO Technical Committees allows for discussion of FAO’s corporate approaches to these challenges. With such arrangements, COFO has a unique opportunity to review relevant developments and contribute with its expertise, in coordination with other Committees, to help shape the policies and programmes of FAO.
During this week a short dissemination event will be organised by the Cost Action FP1202 “Strengthening conservation: a key issue for adaptation of marginal/peripheral populations of forest trees to climate change in Europe (MaP-FGR)” [http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/fps/FP1202] to spread Action principia and results to Worldwide stackeholders, mainly policimakers and gouvernaments represented in this COFO Session.
Please, spread among your Country represnters or delegates this important opportunity to meet us.
Kind regards

Dear Colleagues,
I’m glad to invite you to attend at the
Final Conference on
“Marginal and peripheral tree populations: a key genetic resource for European forests”,
organised by the Cost Action FP1202 (http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/fps/FP1202)
on 27 – 29 September 2016
at the CREA SEL Headquartiers,
Viale Santa Margherita 80, 52100 Arezzo (Italy)
The Conference will organised with the sponsorship of
EUFORGEN, IUFRO Division 2.00.00, IUFRO 2.02.13, EFI and (FAO) Silva Mediterranea WG4.
The effects of climate change are likely to be stronger and more rapid in marginal and peripheral populations (MaP) of forest trees than elsewhere.
MaP forest populations are at the edges of species ranges where conditions are less suitable for survival.
Studying adaptive processes in these populations is crucial and of mutual interest for European and neighbouring countries for understanding the evolution of species and developing gene pool (FGR) conservation and management strategies and networks to cope with global changes.
These populations are not only threatened by modern climate changes but also by other disturbances arising from human pressures and
they may prove invaluable for adapting the European forestry sector.
Topics and all information you require can be found in the following page

Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to inform you that the book entitled, "Vegetative Propagation of Forest Trees" has been published by the National Institute of Forest Science (NIFoS-Korea, http://english.forest.go.kr/) in early March, 2016. The information has just been highlighted in IUFRO News, volume 45, Issue 4, 2016<http://www.iufro.org/publications/news/electronic-news/>. The online edition (pdf) is available through the IUFRO 2.09.02 conference webpages (http://iufro20902.org) section "Publications<http://www.iufro20902.org/Publications/index.html>". A link is also provided through the IUFRO webpages dedicated to the 2.09.02 Working Party "Somatic embryogenesis and other vegetative propagation technologies", section "Publications and references<http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20900/20902/publica…>".
Initially, we thought that it would be a 200-page book, but, owing to an overwhelming and enthusiastic response, it turned out to be a 676-page book! We are very happy with the quality of contributions. We thank all the authors for their contributions.
The book describes many different aspects of modern, vegetative propagation techniques of forest trees and is divided into two parts. Chapters in the first part deal with the current trends and status of research from a theoretical point of view. New technologies that are expected to have a major impact in future tree improvement programs, such as genomic selection and application of molecular analysis, are discussed in detail in this part. The second part is focused on a number of species of hardwoods and conifers and describes practical application of the various vegetative technologies including their use in industrial production.
Kind regards,
The Editors

Subject: FP1202 MaP FGR Training School, call open now
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to inform you that Cost Action FP1202, in collaboration with the Institute of Lowland Forestry and Environment, University of Novi Sad (Serbia), is organizing a Training School on “Genetic diversity of marginal tree populations: from genomics to phenotypic variation” on 13-16 June 2016 in Vojvodina, Serbia at the Hotel Ceptor-Andrevlje, Banoštor.
The deadline for applicants is 15 May 2016, see attached pdf file.
The school will be focused on tree populations in Southern Europe (e.g. Balkan Peninsula), with special emphasis on broadleaved, relict and endemic species. The training will consist of a combination of lectures, practical exercises on analyses of phenotypic data obtained from common garden experiments and field visits.
The training school targets PhD students and other young scientists involved in on-going studies of genetics of forest tree species. MSc students can also benefit from the course if they already have some background knowledge in population genetics or quantitative genetics, and are working with genetic analysis of populations in their MSc thesis.
Please visit the Cost Action website for more info: http://map-fgr.entecra.it/?page_id=79
Feel free to spread the word!
