Webinar invitation on LAMP applied for plantpathology

by Emphasis Project

The EMPHASIS <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/stakeholder-dialogue-to-foster-investment-in-a…> project would like to invite you to our new * webinar series*, which will be launched *at the end of this month*. The first webinar ‘*In-field diagnostics – the Genie and the LAMP’ <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/in-field-diagnostics-the-genie-and-the-lamp-ti…> will be held on the 30th of November 2016 (15:00 CET).* The session will be delivered by Fera <http://fera.co.uk/index.cfm>, to introduce LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) technology and its use for plant disease early detection. LAMP is a DNA amplification technology which enables rapid and sensitive detection and when run on the Genie III platform enables detection of pests and diseases outside of the laboratory at any point in the agri-food chain where decisions are being made. Target audience are research students, researchers, agri-business and forestry experts, farmers and foresters and any other person interested in being introduced to this portable molecular diagnostic tools on plant diseases. The webinar is *free of charge* and places are limited, therefore registrations will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Link to register: https://goo.gl/QN9WPy We would be very thankful if you would help us by sharing this webinar among your contacts that might be interested. We thank you in advance for your interest and cooperation with this project. Best regards, The EMPHASIS project team

XIX Commonwealth Forestry Conference; Dehradun, India; 3-7 April 2017- Abstract Submission Open until 7 November!

by Brigitte Burger

Website: <http://www.cfc2017.in/> http://www.cfc2017.in/ Brochure: attached The world today is undergoing rapid socio-economic and technological changes, which have implications for the forest and environment sector, in turn affecting the ecological, economic and social well being of the people. The forestry sector must keep pace and adapt to these changes. The "Commonwealth" refers to the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of 53 sovereign nations that works together to achieve international goals such as Peace, Democracy and Consensus-building, Law, Human Rights and Development, Environmentally Sustainable Economic Development with greater trust and mutual understanding. Environment and forests are global resources and need to be focused upon by the global fraternity due to the pressures they are under as a result of the alarming growth in the human population, pressures that are being exacerbated by climate and environmental change. The year 2017 will be a key occasion for forestry professionals, academicians and all those interested in and associated with forestry sector in the Commonwealth; they will gather and share their experiences with a view to learn and develop a vision for the future that will involve inclusive and sustainable growth and development. The commonwealth forestry conferences have been held since 1920, when the first (Empire) Forestry Conference was held in London. Since then, the conferences have been held regularly to discuss various aspects of management of forests and focus the action on the changing priorities of the forestry sector. The 19th Commonwealth Forestry Conference is scheduled to be held at Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India from 3rd to 7th April, 2017. The ICFRE and FRI will be the Focal point of the conference, with support from MOEF & CC, Government of India and Commonwealth Forestry Association. The major theme of the conference will be: "Forests for Prosperity and Posterity" Abstract submission Abstract submission will be open until 7 November 2016, at <http://www.cfc2017.in/call-for-papers/> http://www.cfc2017.in/call-for-papers/, containing detailed instructions on how to proceed. The sub-themes are: 1. Biodiversity conservation and management 2. Livelihood and economic security from forests 3. Diversification, multiple use and sustainable harvest 4. Good governance in forestry 5. Forests and climate change 6. Forest and water The CFC-2017 Secretariat is looking forward to receiving your abstracts! ****************************************************** posted by Brigitte Burger, IUFRO Headquarters
