Dear colleagues, Hopefully, many of you will be attending the XXV IUFRO WORLD CONGRESS in Curitiba, Brazil. Division 2 is starting a new period, with several new officeholders starting their term and a new coordination team, including myself as new Division 2 coordinator. We would be delighted to meet all you during our Division Administrative Meeting, which will take place* Friday, 4 October at 17:30 in R09 WING 2*. Apart from learning more about the Division 2 activities and priorities for 2019-2022, this is an excellent opportunity to provide direct feedback on your expectations from IUFRO and to suggest new activities. All my best, Santiago -- Santiago C.
