International Conference on Wood Adhesives
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
9-11 October 2013
The Forest Products Society, the Forest Products Laboratory and the Wood-Based Composites Center are organizing the International Conference on Wood Adhesives, which is the premier forum for scientific and technical exchange on the topic of wood adhesives.
This conference has been held every 4-5 years to ensure that we have high attendance from those in the wood adhesive community and that totally new information is provided at the meeting. The wood adhesive meetings have seen continued growth in international attendance. Along with putting emphasis on international transfer of information, we want to expand the emphasis on the impact of energy on bonded wood products and the needs for more effective use of wood resources. Energy conservation and efficient use of wood resources whether in the final building performance, construction of the building, or production of bonded wood products plays an increasing role. This has led to a continuing need for research and implementation of new adhesives and bonded wood products. The conference is an important forum for interchange of knowledge and ideas for both the adhesive and the bonded wood products community. This will be the first meeting held outside the United States.
The latest information on the following subject areas will be available via plenary, technical and poster presentations, tabletop exhibits, and personal interactions with leaders in the field:
• Energy concerns and opportunities
• Structure and properties of adhesive systems
• Impact of regulations and consumer preference
• Bonding to unconventional substrates
• New wood-based bonded products
• Bio-based and novel adhesive systems, resin
chemistry
• Developments in fundamental understanding of
wood bonding
• Composites
• Modeling
• Engineered wood
• Analytical and testing methodology
• Other applications

Dear D5 officers,
Here is what we have waiting for - opportunities to propose technical
sessions. There is a need to collaborate across Research units and
Divisions (I know this can be difficult, not knowing what the others are
doing) since IUFRO does not encourage sessions proposed by a single RG or
WP alone. Session proposals must fall under the chosen themes (below). The
rest of the information are self explanatory. Do note the submission
deadline is before 30 April 2013.
Look forward to an Active D5 representation at the IUFRO 2014 World
congress for sure.
Let me know it you have questions about preparing a proposal.
Cheers
Andrew

CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS
PDF for download
Dear IUFRO Officeholder, dear Colleagues,
The Congress Scientific Committee invites
submission of session proposals for the
2014 IUFRO Congress. In keeping with the
spirit of the Congress title – Sustaining
Forests, Sustaining People: The Role of
Research – the Congress Scientific
Committee is developing a program that
will highlight the contributions that
forest science is making to address the
significant environmental, social and
economic challenges facing our world. 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 key issues and research areas
identified in IUFRO's 2010-2014 Strategy.
Session proposals will be accepted that
address one or more of the following
Congress themes:
- Forests for People
- Forest Biodiversity and Ecosystem
Services
- Forests and Climate Change
- Forest and Water Interactions
- Forest Biomass and Bioenergy
- Forests and Forest Products for a
Greener Future
- Forest Health in a Changing World
Who may submit a session proposal?
All who share an interest in the future of
forests and forest science session 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
http://www.iufro.org/science/ for more
information) – if assistance is needed to
identify appropriate partners within
IUFRO, please contact the CSC Chair or
other members of the CSC.
Preparing and submitting a session
proposal.
Proposals should be submitted between
January and April, 2013, online at
www.iufro2014.com using the Session
Proposal Form. Proposals will not be
accepted after April 30th.
In addition to providing basic information
on session organizer(s), session title,
alignment with Congress themes, and a
short abstract of the session proposal,
those submitting proposals should submit
(online) a more complete proposal (as a
Word document) that describes the session
objectives and content in relation to
Congress theme(s), proposed session format
(i.e., presentation of individual papers
and/or posters, moderated panel
discussion, or other forms of
presentation) and lists proposed speakers
(if known), their organizational
affiliations and tentative titles of their
presentations. Proposed sessions should be
organized to be 2-2½ hours in length. For
sessions involving oral presentations, we
recommend that each speaker be given a
minimum of 15 minutes for his/her
presentation.
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 and relevance to the Congress
themes. 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 non-IUFRO organizations;
[geographic and gender] diversity of
proposed session speakers/presenters; and
the involvement of students and young
scientists. Proposals will be evaluated as
they are received, so we strongly
encourage submissions well in advance of
the April 30th deadline.
Acceptance decisions will be made no later
than June 30th, 2013. An open Call for
Abstracts will be issued in July, with
online abstract submission until October
15th and acceptance decisions until
November 30th (2013).
Responsibilities of session organizers.
Session organizers of accepted proposals
are expected to communicate with
prospective presenters regarding
submission of abstracts (online, from late
July to mid-October 2013), and will be
asked to review abstracts submitted for
their sessions during the abstract review
period (i.e., in late October to late
November 2013). Session organizers may be
asked to assist the CSC in the editing of
accepted abstracts. They will also be
responsible for moderating sessions (or
assigning session moderation
responsibilities) and are encouraged to
pursue publication options for papers
presented in their sessions.
Abstracts of papers and posters presented
during the Congress will be published in a
special volume of The International
Forestry Review, as was done for the 2010
Congress in Seoul, Republic of Korea. As
formal Congress proceedings with full
papers will not be published, session
organizers should explore alternative
publication options (books, special issues
of journals, etc.) for their sessions.
We look forward to hearing from you and
for your active participation in the
design of an excellent scientific program
for the 2014 IUFRO Congress in Salt Lake
City.

Task,” aims to integrate knowledge from various disciplines inside and
outside of forestry such as recreation, sociology, global dynamics,
environmental management, education, urban planning and many others.
The main sub-themes of FFP are:
· Livelihoods — issues of agro-forestry, food security, fuels, poverty
alleviation, and human dislocation
· Health, Recreation and Tourism — issues of human health, recreation,
and nature-based tourism
· Urban and Rural Landscapes — issues of ecosystem services, economic
benefit and development, spaces and places for living, and urban
forestry
· Culture and Education — issues of perceptions of forests, spiritual
character, education, historical tradition and practice,
communication and governance
We are pleased to offer full access to the parallel conference “2013
National Outdoor Recreation Conference” which “Forests for People”
participants are welcome to join for free.
Presentations
Research presentations are 20 minutes in length (15 minute presentation
with 5 minutes for questions). Management sessions are 1.5 hours in length
with 2-4 presenters. Session organizers may customize the format of the
session to help ensure a quality learning experience. The meeting rooms
will provide a laptop computer, digital projector, screen, lectern, and
audio system (in the larger rooms). Special requests for eraser boards,
dissolve units, video equipment and other specialized equipment will be

Dear D5 Officers,
I am forwarding this in-coming conference announcement from the IUFRO task
Force on "Forests for People", hoping that IUFRO members from the fields
below would be able to attend on behalf of D5:
· use of wood and non-wood forest products
· forests products marketing
