**Please pass along to those that work with resistance and Tree-Parasite Interactions For planning purposes, if interested attending, please send an email to Veronique JORGE (Veronique.Jorge@orleans.inra.fr<mailto:Veronique.Jorge@orleans.inra.fr>) Arnaud DOWKIW (Arnaud.Dowkiw@orleans.inra.fr<mailto:Arnaud.Dowkiw@orleans.inra.fr>) Also, if your group would like to be a Sponsor, see website for details Genetic Resistance to Diseases and Insects in Forest Trees Workshop 2015 5th International Workshop on the Genetics of Tree-Parasite Interactions Hello! At the 2011 excellent workshop in Eugene, Oregon (proceedings at http://www.fs.fed.us/psw/publications/documents/psw_gtr240/) it was decided to have the next international workshop on this topic in France. the 5th International Workshop on the Genetics of Tree-Parasite Interactions that will be held in Orléans, France, from 23 to 28 August 2015. Please see the email from Arnaud Dowkiw (below) for some details and the website: https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015 This important topic is even more relevant today, as several additional insect and disease epidemics have taken place. Also, note – there may be some funding available for 1 or 2 scientists: some of the requirements (see website for details): · Scientists from developing countries (according to World Bank List of Economies: low income countries and lower middle income countries (http://data.worldbank.org/country); · Preference given to scientists working in IUFRO member institutions We hope to see you in France for the talks, the discussions, and the continued friendships and collaborations.

We know that there are many other scientific meetings that you could attend in 2015, but YOU selected the best one :-) For those who experienced the previous editions of this workshop, you know that they are always very interesting, very rich, not only because of the diversity of the attendees (phytopathologists, breeders, entomologists, physiologists, evolutionary biologists ...) but also because they are always organized in a way that most of the attendees have an oportunity to present their work and in a format that fosters discussions. Also, compared to many other meetings, the registration fees are not so high. It is 600 € for early bird registration (1 April) and only 500 € for graduate students. These fees include all the meals (lunches + diners) + field tour and conference diner. Last but not least, some of you are project leaders, group coordinators or in the process of building a project. We have negociated some extra free meeting rooms where you will be able to gather your troops, so think seriously about this opportunity. Now is time to think seriously about confirming your participation to this event ! There is a brand new website waiting for you with lots of information to help you organize your trip and your presentation : https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015 Although registrations to the meeting will open 2nd of February, online abstract registration is now open ! Please circulate this information around you and think about other colleagues or students in your lab who maybe interested (think also that France still is a good place for summer holidays, either before or after the meeting !!).
