Dear D5 colleagues,
Here's encouraging you to collaborate with your colleagues in Latin America
to organise fores products sessions at this IUFRO congress. This should be
a worthwhile venue to hold such meetings on forest products too. Look
forward to your engagement with the IUFROLAT organisers soon. Please note
deadline for submission of abstracts.
Cheers
Andrew

Congress
12-15 June 2013, San José, Costa Rica
FIRST CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
PDF for download: English – Spanish
Dear member of the IUFRO network,
Dear friend of IUFRO,
The International Union of Forest Research
Organizations (IUFRO) and the Agriculture
Research and Higher Education Center
(CATIE) will jointly organize the Third
IUFRO Latin American Congress, to be held
in San José, Costa Rica from 12 to 15 June
2013. Partners in this event are the
Ibero-American Model Forest Network
(RIABM), FAO and several IUFRO member
organizations in the region.
The overall goal of the Congress is to
demonstrate how forest science is
impacting on livelihoods, environment and
sustainable development in Latin America
and the Caribbean Region. The Congress
will highlight research that puts relevant
information in the hands of decision
makers in the management and policy arenas
at national and regional levels.
The Congress organisers welcome all
interested parties to submit abstracts in
order to share and discuss research
results, new ideas, approaches to forest
and landscape management, experiences,
conceptual models and initiatives of
interest. The first call for submission of
abstracts is attached here. The deadline
for the submission of abstracts is 31
December 2012.
Official languages of the Congress will be
Spanish and English.

Dear D5
I have been given a small task here to compare the wood properties of radiata pine in New Zealand with those in South America - Chile, Argentina. I have found it very hard to obtain good factual information on wood properties and lumber quality (stiffness, degrading features) in relation to site, silviculture and genetics.
I would be most grateful for any sources of information.

IJLP is a peer-reviewed journal and aims to provide a forum for the prompt
publication of original research on all areas of lignocellulosic products
and composites, including
Science, fundamentals, and characterization,
Physical, chemical and mechanical properties,
Engineering design, analysis, mathematical modeling and
computer simulation,
Their utilization in traditional, conventional and new
applications in all cases,
Manufacturing economy, raw material supplying and management,
Modern utilizations and new capabilities,
New and innovative technologies for the measurement of
properties,
Employing the new technologies such as biotechnology and
nanotechnology in production of lignocellulosic products.
IJLP publishes original articles, review articles, case studies and short

The University of Göttingen invites applications for the position of a
Professorship (W2) in Wood Technology and Wood Composites (salary level
W2)
at the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology.
The position will strengthen the research area of forest products.
Applicants should have a research record in the interface between
sustainable forestry concepts and the wood industry. The research focus
should be on wood technology and wood composites. In particular, the
research should cover one or several of the following areas:
- Innovative wood composites
- Wood chemistry
- Wood adhesives/adhesive technology
- Biopolymeres
- Biorefinery
The teaching of the position will be mainly within the Bachelor and Master
programmes of the faculty (as the master in Wood Biology and Wood
Technology). Because of the international orientation of the study program

request.
We explicitly welcome applications from abroad. Under certain circumstances,
relating to care and/or family responsibilities, part-time employment is
possible. The University of Göttingen intends to increase the proportion of
women in research and teaching, and hence strongly encourages female
scientists to apply. Priority will be given to disabled persons with
equivalent qualifications.
