Dear All,
Join the global forest health research community in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, from August 9–13, 2027, for the IUFRO conference hosted by
Division 7 – Forest Health under the theme “Global Partnerships and Sustainability.”
We welcome the participation of units from other IUFRO Divisions to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration under the conference theme.
This international conference will bring together researchers from around the world who are dedicated to advancing the
understanding and stewardship of healthy forest ecosystems. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their research, exchange ideas, and build meaningful collaborations across all IUFRO divisions. We especially emphasize the importance of
global and community partnerships in advancing sustainable forest management, and invite all perspectives, including Indigenous knowledge systems and research approaches.
With a strong focus on forest health, the conference will feature sessions on forest insects and pathogens, invasive
species, pest management, and forest damage assessment. Researchers working in complementary fields, including silviculture, forest genetics, and biodiversity, are warmly invited to contribute to this dynamic and interdisciplinary scientific program. In line
with the conference theme, contributions that explore sustainability through
cross-disciplinary collaboration are welcome. We hope that you are able to join us in Edmonton in 2027.
Tod Ramsfield, Maartje Klapwijk, Nadir Erbilgin, Charles Nock, and Jennifer Klutsch
