Dear IUFRO members,
The Final Conference of PARAmount a project funded by the Alpine Space
Programme of the European Union will be held on 23rd April 2012 at
Grenoble in parallel with the 12th Congress of INTERPRAEVENT (Grenoble, 23
26 April 2012).
The Final Conference is designed to bring together experts, researchers,
policy and decision makers, practitioners from various disciplines as well
as concerned stakeholders for an interdisciplinary, transnational exchange
of views on the further development of strategies and technologies for the
management of natural hazards threatening transport infrastructure and to
present the results of the project concerning the
Assessment of the vulnerability of transport infrastructure to natural
hazards
Improvement of the efficiency of measures necessary to protect transport
infrastructure against natural hazards and to increase its reliability and
security
Advancement of Decision analysis and support systems for an effective
management of transport infrastructure threatened by natural risks
Development of new concepts and approaches for assessing and monitoring
natural risks.
The objective of the concluding round table discussion will be to elaborate
recommendations for overcoming the identified barriers that might impede the
adoption of the developed approaches and concepts as well as to ensure a
successful knowledge transfer.

Dear Colleagues!
We invite you to take part in the International Conference RR 2012:
"Renewable Forest Resources: innovative development in forestry" that
belongs to a conference series on Renewable Resources.
Forestry is constantly adapting to new needs of the changing world. The
range of demands put on forest sector by society has considerably increased
in recent years. These changes require innovative developments not only in
the field of technologies and business, but also on policy and management
level, that will create the environment where innovations can take place.
The aim of the conference is the discussion of various aspects of use of
forest resources and the presentation of Russian and foreign experience in
the introduction of innovative methods of forest management, reforestation
and forest use. Representatives of authorities, scientific-educational and
business community of Russia and other countries are invited to participate
in the plenary session and round tables.
More detailed information can be find at : http://onlinereg.ru/RR2012/
Yours
Maxim

IUFRO - 9.01.01 - Library, information networks and terminology Call for
papers/contributions: IUFRO and Information: Direction 2012
IUFRO Division 9 Conference
Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina, 8-10 May 2012
-------------
IUFRO and Information: Direction 2012
Information has been central to IUFRO's brief since its foundation in the
nineteenth century, and it has maintained a specialist research group
dealing with information in various forms for well over a century. Following
the latest re-organisation, this role is now held by the new IUFRO group 9.
01, Information and Communication, which brings together the traditional
library, information networks and terminology activities (formerly 6.03)
with communications, public relations, extension and knowledge exchange,
along with the long-existing Latin American and Caribbean information
systems network.
The All-Division 9 conference in Sarajevo, May 9-11 2012, gives us a great
opportunity to explore these newly-unified territories and discover
synergies within them that will benefit both IUFRO's internal information
exchange and the global forest information network. Each subgroup of 9.01
will offer an individual programme, and this is a call for contributions for
the session to be organised by 9.01.01, Library, Information Networks and
Terminology, entitled IUFRO and Information: Direction 2012. For full
details of the Sarajevo conference see http://www.foper.org/iufro_1.html.
Objectives for the session are:
1) To involve the widest possible cross-section of those with an
interest in forest-related information
2) To explore opportunities for cross-sectoral work between the various
sub-sections of 9.01 and across IUFRO generally, to support and enhance
information provision is its widest sense
3) To derive from this a timely and relevant agenda for 9.01.01 to
take us up to the next World Congress in 2014 and beyond.
So we invite your ideas! In which directions should we be heading in 2012?
What are your priorities in managing information today? What solutions have
you found, and what support do you need to help establish new systems and
services - or to reinforce existing systems much valued but now under
threat, perhaps for economic or staffing reasons?
We welcome proposals for conventional papers (15min maximum), and also short
contributions (maximum 5 mins) which can be presented in café-style
discussion sessions. We recognise that funding to attend conferences is
often difficult to come by these days, particularly in the library and
information sector, and many who would be interested may be unable to
attend. We welcome contributions from you too! and strongly encourage you to
send in short pieces which can be discussed by conference participants. This
can be in any form you like, e.g. PowerPoint, video (e.g. YouTube), social
media (Twitter etc), e-mail etc. We are not looking for sophisticated or
time-consuming presentation, but for ideas : suggestions for activities
where we as a group of information professionals can make a difference to
you, whether you are an information provider or user, or both.
Traditionally, our group has been active in the areas of networking,
classification and terminology, and in supporting the Global Forest
Information Service (GFIS); and more recently in the developing areas of
data management/archiving, mentoring, training & support and evidence-based
forestry. Ideas for further development in those areas are welcome, but do
not limit yourselves to them:
information is key to every area of human activity so nothing is barred!
Please send your suggestions in not more than 450 words, together with full
name of authors, affiliations, and an e-mail address by February 20, 2012,
to
gillian.petrokofsky(a)plants.ox.ac.uk<mailto:gillian.petrokofsky@plants.ox.ac.
uk>.
Please share this call for papers widely.
Many thanks!
