Welcome to Vancouver in 2017!
The 2017 IUFRO All-Division 5 (Forest Products) Conference will be held in Vancouver, Canada from June 12th to 16th, 2017. The Conference is organized jointly by IUFRO Division 5, the Faculty of Forestry at the University of British Columbia, FPInnovations, and the Society of Wood Science and Technology. In recognition of the pressing global need for the forest sector to be a leader in sustainability, diversification, and innovation, the theme of the 2017 IUFRO Division 5 Conference is: Forest Sector Innovations for a Greener Future.
This Innovation/Sustainability theme will form a unifying basis for the week-long Conference and will guide the agenda through a series of plenary sessions that will catalyze discussion on what the future forest products sector might look like. Each morning will feature two keynote presentations; one a research-based talk featuring a prominent academic, the other a more pragmatic, real-world talk featuring a prominent practitioner from industry, government, civil society, or an indigenous community. The plenary topics include:
Forest Sector Innovation; How can innovative forest sector based environmental and social approaches assure a greener future for our global society?
Innovations in Forest Products and Services; How will fibre and forests be used in the near- and long term (focus on bioenergy, biomaterials, biofuels, biochemicals, carbon and non-timber forest products)?
Innovations in Wood Building and Design; What will the next generation's needs for shelter and buildings be and how will they be met?
Innovations in Forest Management, Policy and Markets; Will there be enough biomass and sustainable products to support the growing global population?
Innovations in Business Models and Management: What will the businesses of forestry look like in the near and long-term?

We are very pleased to announce the Second international scientific and expert conference "Natural resources, green technology and sustainable development-GREEN/2“ which will be held in Zagreb from 5th to 7th October 2016. The first conference in 2014 was very successful with over 200 participants from 16 countries participated and 130 oral and poster presentations. Our started aim of bringing together scientists and experts from different research backgrounds was more than fulfilled. The enthusiasm and support expressed by participants has prompted us to organise the second conference.

Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to share with you the first announcement and call for submissions for our IUFRO International Conference "Between Tradition and Increasing Challenges: Future Development of Small-scale and Community Forestry in Times of Global Change". Some of you honor us by participating in the Scientific Committee, so I am sure we will have a very interesting meeting!
The conference will provide a unique opportunity to bring together researchers from all over the world to share evidence-based knowledge on small-scale and community forestry issues in Latin America, including the ecological, institutional and anthropogenic factors influencing the management and evolution of forests and forest landscapes. As traditional knowledge plays a substantial role in both small-scale and community forest ownership models, the integration of a historical dimension will provide an additional source of information in order to interpret and understand the challenges and constraints related to global change.
Please find attached the First Announcement as well as two pictures: the Paranaense Rainforest in Misiones, Argentina, and a workshop of mbya guarani craftspeople on valorization of the cultural value inherent to their production.
I look forward to promoting forest history and traditional knowledge (as well as community forestry) at this meeting!
All the best,
Monica

Training School on "Marketing of Wild Forest Products: theory and practice"
A Call for the Training School on "Marketing of Wild Forest Products: theory and practice" under COST Action FP1203: European NWFPs Network is open. Training Schools are an important part of COST Actions and are intended to share knowledge and support collaboration. Within the scope of COST Action FP-1203 a Training School offering a general overview on methodological aspects related with non-wood forest product marketing has been prepared by Task Force 4 (Marketing). Topics to be covered include the business context analysis: (relationship product/market; property rights/ regulative framework), strategic marketing (segmentation - targeting), differentiation, positioning), operational marketing (marketing mix: 4+2 Ps, with special focus on pricing, logistic, branding, e-business, customer-supplier relationships). The course will combine theoretical lessons, case studies analysis and the presentation of some tools for marketing research: DBs (trade data, regulations, Codex Alimentarius, Google Analytics, …), value chain analysis, network analysis, social capital analysis. Discussions on real case studies presented to the participants will be also carried out. Early Stage Researchers are particularly encouraged to attend to this Training School. Attendance certificates will be issued to the participants.
