INTERNATIONAL UNION
OF FOREST RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we cordially invite you to attend the:
13th IUFRO International Wood Drying Conference
Wood drying in developing countries
September 5-9, 2016, Istanbul, Turkey
The conference will be held from September 5 to 9, 2016, in Istambul (Turkey) at the University of Istanbul, Faculty of Forestry. The main aim of the conference is to bring researchers and practitioners together from academia and industry to an interdisciplinary environment where we can share recent developments and applications of wood drying technologies. This time, we hope to offer you something rather different: Istanbul, a global city located in the boundaries between the European and Asian continents. It has been home to countless civilizations and cultures throughout the ages, and for many centuries people of various religions, languages and races have lived in harmony together. The city, like a mosaic, has preserved its unique cosmopolitan and metropolitan structure. If you decide to come, then you will have the chance to experience stonishing views of the city and visit the world famous Hagia Sophia Museum and Topkapı Palace in Istanbul.
The Conference Topics will focus on “Wood drying in developing countries”:
o Drying Quality and Wood Properties
o Methods for Monitoring the Drying Process
o Physics of Wood Drying and Modelling
o Applied Wood Drying
o Alternative Drying Methods
o Wood Modification Related to Drying
o Miscellaneous Drying Technologies
o Conference Language
The official language of the conference is English, and the Key Dates for the participants are listed below:
o June, 2015 First announcement
o August, 2015 1st call for papers/posters. Pre-registration
o December, 2015 2nd call for papers/posters and abstracts for peer-review
o January, 2016 3rd call for papers/posters and abstracts for peer-review
o February, 2016 Dead-line to send final title and abstract for peer-review
o March, 2016 Information via e-mail of decision of acceptance of papers/posters
o May, 2009 Announcement for Final Registration
o July 30, 2016 Deadline for submission of the final camera-ready papers
o August 20, 2016 Deadline for early payment of fees
o September 05-09, 2016 13th International IUFRO Wood Drying Conference
o September 10-11, 2016 Post-conference tour
We hope to share a successful and enjoyable meeting with you in Istanbul. If you join us, we promise you an amazing experience and good memories to take back home.

Dear IUFRO Division 5 members,
I am pleased to announced that the IUFRO Working Party 5.04.13 Industrial Engineering, Operations Analysis and Logistics is planning to publish a quarterly Newsletter beginning in July 2015. The goal of this newsletter is to provide with up to date information on all aspects related to Industrial Engineering research applied to wood products. The broad themes that the newsletter will cover are:
Process Automation in Forest Products industries including robotics, computer numerical controlled (CNC) and programmable logic controllers (PLC) integration
Machine Vision and Scanning Technology applications
Production Planning and Control in forest and wood products industries
Optimization and Simulation models in logistics and manufacturing processes
Software developments such as ERP, MRP, CAM, CAD
Supply Chain Management models in forest and wood products industries
Ergonomics and Organizational Safety in Forest Products Industries
Life Cycle Costing (LCC) for Forest Products
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) applications in the forest products value-chain
Statistical Process Control (SPC) developments
Product Development Engineering
Continuous Improvement Initiatives including Lean Management, Six Sigma, Kaizen, and Total Quality Management
Keep in mind that IUFRO offers a holistic platform where cultural diversity, social awareness, environmental impact, and economic development are disseminated in a unique and powerful structure. The breadth of knowledge that is being generated from faculty and students around the World in Industrial Engineering research is outstanding at all levels. This newsletter will be a great window to showcase your ongoing research, teaching, and extension activities related to the IUFRO Working Party 5.04.13 to the World.
Acceptable contributions are in the form of research updates, success histories, event announcements, available scholarships, awards received, grants announcements, and editorial opinions on relevant topics to the Working Party.

Subject: Call for papers on Forests and Food Security - reminder deadline 31 January
----- Call for Papers for Special Issue of Environmental Conservation on 'Forests and Food Security' -----
The aim of this thematic issue is to provide a forum for research that explores the different ways in which forests and agroforestry systems can be managed as food provisioning systems, in addition to their existing contributions to the conservation landscape. Potential audiences for this contribution include scholars and policy makers working in forest and related sectors, as well as those working in the areas of food and nutrition security both locally and internationally. A reminder that the deadline for the submission of papers is 31 January 2015. Details are attached.
