Dear colleagues,
next presentation organized in the frame of IUFRO 5.04.08 division will be on January 24th 2023 between 13.00 and 14.30 (CET).
https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-5/50000/50400/50408/activi…
The presentation is titled: State-of-Art NIR Spectroscopy for Wood Science
The speaker will be prof: Satoru Tsuchikawa from Nagoya University (JP).
Here follows a short description of the seminar.
This presentation from the Laboratory System Engineering for Biology team from Nagoya University introduces a scientific and technical state-of-art on near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy applied to the area of wood science and technology. The NIR technique is useful to detect chemical, physical, mechanical and anatomical properties of wood materials, although it was widely used when wood's characteristic cellular structure was retained. Basic spectroscopic research for wooden material has progressed and it could be a powerful and meaningful analytical spectroscopic tool.
Professor Dr. Satoru Tsuchikawa leads his team in researching complex spectral information using theoretical equation, chemometrics and machine learning. He was awarded the Gerald S. Birth Award by the Council for Near Infrared Spectroscopy in 2018, and has published more than 400 peer-reviewed papers.
Information on the 25th International Wood Machining Seminar (IWMS-25), to be held in Nagoya, Japan from October 4-8, 2023, will also be provided.
https://www.agr.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~mechbio/IWMS-25/index.html<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.agr.n…>

There is a new scientific Journal devoted entirely to bamboo, with Dr. John Innes [https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/advances-in-bamboo-science/about/edit…] former dean of forestry at the University of British Columbia, as it's Editor-in-Chief. This Journal is published by Elsevier, B.V.
Advances in Bamboo Science [https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/advances-in-bamboo-science] is an interdisciplinary journal covering all aspects of bamboo, ranging from the growth and silviculture of the product, processing technologies, and new products. The potential of bamboo as a nature-based solution to many of the environmental problems facing the world is being increasingly recognized. Bamboo is found in many temperate, sub-tropical and tropical countries around the world, and is being increasingly cultivated because of the wide range of products associated with it. The journal accepts original research and state-of-the-art reviews on the classification, physiology, growth, properties, ecology and management of bamboo, its use in bioremediation and habitat restoration, and also has a strong focus on the products derived from bamboo, including foodstuffs, medicines, cosmetics, biochemicals, textiles, utensils, papers and tissues, flooring and cabinetry, and construction materials. Research examining the cultural, socio-economic and regional impacts of bamboo will also be considered.
This Journal is Open Access, [https://www.elsevier.com/journals/advances-in-bamboo-science/2773-1391/open…] meaning all articles are immediately and permanently free to read and download.
Please see this guide for authors [https://www.elsevier.com/journals/advances-in-bamboo-science/2773-1391/guid…] if you are interested in submitting an article.

Congratulations to all authors and the Editorial Board!
After decades of focused research, bamboo is finally getting noticed. Dissemination of information is vital to move bamboo forward and #keepbamboostrong.
2022 Taiwan Bamboo Forum ~ in preparation for the 12th World Bamboo Congress to be held in Taiwan in 2024:
SUNDAY, 18 DECEMBER - in person and online -
Evergreen Convention Center, Taipei TAIWAN
09:00 ~ 17:00 (GMT+8)
Next Generation | Next Generation Bamboo Forum
This forum will focus on three main themes: (1) Bamboo x Industry Innovation (2) Bamboo x Net Zero Carbon Emission (3) Bamboo x Contemporary Design
Three-sided entry, hope that through the "new era", "new opportunity" and "new thinking" talks, the future imagination of Taiwanese bamboo will be collided with the existing production restrictions framework, as an opportunity for green transformation.
Innovation >> > Bamboo X industry innovation
Theme (i) Circular economy v. s business model/industrial thinking
10:20am-12:10pm
Unlocking the future of bamboo in Taiwan depends on modern craftsmanship, innovative technology, and a mindset that transforms the operation of the bamboo industry! From the perspective of familiarity with the upstream and downstream of Taiwan's bamboo industry and following the world trend, we jointly explore the innovative industrial type of "bamboo", the environmental potential structure. A number of successful cases of Taiwan bamboo promotion in the international market will be listed. From the source, we will explore how to use the new process to grind bamboo into powder and turn it into a global hot environmental protection appliance? Observe how it builds mass-produced industries step by step, combined with local creation, bringing jobs and economic benefits to the local area? Looking forward to inspiring start-ups from all walks of life to rethink the value of bamboo through the process of sharing.

Hello,
We are reaching out today to share with you some of the exciting new online programs we’ve recently launched here at the Faculty of Forestry as we ramp up for another recruitment cycle.
Our 4 new online micro-certificate programs<https://forestry.ubc.ca/programs/certificate/> offer a unique and accessible opportunity to advance and gain new skills in key, fast-growing fields. This is a great opportunity to engage in industry-aligned teaching, and highlights some of the amazing work that continues to be done here at the faculty. These 4 micro-certificate programs include the following:
Climate Vulnerability and Adaptation (CVA)<https://forestry.ubc.ca/programs/certificate/climate-micro-certificate/> provides forest professionals with an understanding of climate science, vulnerability assessments, adaptation development, and how it is applied to management and business case adaptation.
Co-Management of Natural Resources (CNR)<https://forestry.ubc.ca/programs/certificate/co-management-natural-resource…> explores how to advance co-management initiatives, institutional and relational change, and intercultural understanding at the nexus of Indigenous and Western Knowledge systems.
Forest Carbon Management (FCM)<https://forestry.ubc.ca/programs/certificate/forest-carbon-management/> centres on forest carbon accounting, data analysis, and natural resource management to excel in forest carbon projects and associated markets around the world.
Climate Action and Community Engagement (CACE)<https://forestry.ubc.ca/programs/certificate/climate-action-community-engag…> teaches students to engage and train local climate champions to build stronger and more resilient cities in the face of climate change extremes.
While all programs are listed to be 8-weeks long, we also offer flexibility to be completed at your convenience, with the option to spread out courses over a span of 2 years. As UBC Forestry continues to address pressing issues related to justice, climate change and sustainable forest management, we are thrilled to be able to offer this online opportunity to learn, reflect and grow with students from all backgrounds and professions.
Please feel free to circulate with anyone who might be interested in applying to our next cohort, and of course, reach out to me if you have any questions.

XXVI IUFRO World Congress: REMINDER - Call for Session Proposals - 13 October 2022
[cid:fcaad79b10db770084a605b6ca441721@swift.generated]
XXVI IUFRO World Congress 2024
FORESTS AND SOCIETY TOWARDS 2050
Stockholm, Sweden; 23-29 June 2024
Congress website: https://iufro2024.com/
XXVI IUFRO World Congress: REMINDER - CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS
Deadline for proposals: 13 October 2022
The Congress Scientific Committee invites submission of session proposals for the 2024 IUFRO World Congress. In line with the spirit of the Congress title – Forest and Society towards 2050 ‐ the Congress Scientific Committee is developing a program that will highlight the forest contributions to the UN 2030 Agenda and its sustainable development goals and beyond. The Congress program will reflect the forest science community’s diverse contributions across the full range of natural and social science disciplines, with special emphasis on the themes and subthemes available at the Congress website (https://iufro2024.com/)
Who may submit a session proposal?
All who share an interest in the future of forests and forest-related science are invited to submit session proposals. We encourage proposals that involve collaboration between two or more IUFRO Divisions or Task Forces and/or with organizations not formally associated with IUFRO, and from university students at all levels. We strongly recommend IUFRO officeholders and others actively involved in IUFRO Research Groups, Working Parties, and Task Forces communicate with their respective Division representatives on the CSC (or Task Force coordinators) before submitting proposals – this will greatly facilitate broader involvement of IUFRO divisional units and Task Forces in the scientific program and avoid overlaps among sessions.
Session proposals from non‐IUFRO member organizations are encouraged although preference will be given to those that are prepared jointly with IUFRO Divisional Units and Task Forces (see https://www.iufro.org/science<https://www.iufro.org/science/>/<https://www.iufro.org/science/> for more information).
Type of sessions
Two types of sessions may be proposed. Sub-plenary sessions are expected to attract a large audience (from 550 to 2000 people) and to address the major elements of one of the Congress themes (see below). Sub-themes expand the theme descriptions and do not necessarily translate into sub-plenary sessions. Technical sessions should also focus on Congress themes or sub-themes but may be more narrow in their scope and attract from 45 to 700 attendees. Sub-plenary session proposals that are not approved by the CSC will be considered for Technical sessions.
Preparing and submitting a session proposal
Proposals should be submitted in English, online at https://iufro2024.com/session-proposals. For questions and technical support about session submission, please contact abstracts.iufro2024(a)appinconf.com<mailto:abstracts.iufro2024@appinconf.com>. Proposals will not be accepted after 13 October 2022.
Session proposals should include session title, moderator(s), description i.e. an abstract with the rationale of the session (400 words), organizers(s)’ details, suggested session time slot, alignment with Congress themes (ab. 100 words), session information with tentative titles and presenters, alignment with selection criteria (ab. 200 words), and relevant IUFRO Unit(s). Proposed sessions should be organized to be nominally 2 hours in length. For sessions involving oral presentations, we recommend that 15 min including discussion be adopted for standard oral presentations, and 30 min for sub-plenary talks. However, we encourage proponents to be innovative, and to consider panel discussions, interactive poster sessions and other session formats to engage Congress participants.
Modification of accepted session proposals
Please note that the abstract submission process will be open to all, so session organizers may need to include papers or posters that were not originally proposed for their sessions. Please be aware of this possibility and the need for flexibility in designing your session. In the event that the number of accepted abstracts for a particular session exceeds the number that can be accommodated in a single session, organizers may be given an additional session slot in the Congress program.
Criteria for selection
Session proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by members of the Congress Scientific Committee with primary consideration given to their scientific quality, relevance to the Congress themes, and geographic and gender diversity of proposed session organizers, moderators and proposed presenters. Other factors that will be considered are: the involvement of two or more IUFRO units (Divisions, Task Forces, Research Groups and Working Parties) and/or IUFRO and non‐IUFRO member organizations; and the involvement of students and early-career scientists and professionals. We strongly encourage submissions well in advance of the 13th October deadline.
Acceptance decisions will be made no later than 17 January 2023. An open Call for Abstracts will be issued on 1 February 2023, with online abstract submission until 2 June 2023, and acceptance decisions provided by 30 October. The Congress timelines are available at the Congress website (https://iufro2024.com/) and below.
Responsibilities of session organizers
Session organizers of accepted proposals are expected to communicate with prospective presenters regarding submission of abstracts (online), will be asked to review abstracts submitted for their sessions during the abstract review period (i.e., from June to October 2023) and are in charge of language editing of the accepted abstracts. They are also responsible for ensuring that session moderators attend the Congress and are encouraged to pursue publication options for papers presented in their sessions. Formal Congress proceedings with full papers will not be published. Session organizers, moderators and speakers will have to pay the Congress fee.
We look forward to hearing from you and for your active participation in the design of an excellent scientific program for the 2024 IUFRO Congress in Stockholm, Sweden.
