Dear Division 2 and IUFRO 2.09.02 Colleagues,

Pr. Stéphane Maury, WG1 leader of the EU COST action EPI-CATCH (Epigenetic mechanisms of crop adaptation to climate change) and Coordinator of the ANR project EPITREE (Evolutionary and functional impact of epigenetic variation in forest trees) would like to advertise our memberships about a joined EPI-CATCH/EPITREE workshop entitled “Epigenetics in woody plants” to be organized Sept. 28-29, 2023 in Orléans, France (see the attached presentation document). The workshop will host an open conference session with international speakers on Sept. 28 (on-site and remote) followed by a networking workshop on Sept. 29 (on-site only, by invitation or upon request). A very exciting field with multiple prospects for the production of adapted tree varieties!

If interested, please visit the conference website to find appropriate links and deadlines. Note that registration at the conference website is required to attend on site or to obtain a link for remote participation. In case of any question about this event, please contact Pr. Stéphane Maury (stephane.maury@univ-orleans.fr).

Best regards. Stay tuned and don’t forget to consider also attending the 6th IUFRO 2.09.02 conference in Rotorua, New Zealand (March 3-8, 2024)! [Link]

Jean-François

IUFRO 2.09.02 Coordinator
