*Alien Futures* is a new research project collecting and examining
issues that may affect the future global and local management of
biological invasions.
Horizon scanning is the systematic examination of future potential
threats, opportunities and likely future developments.
Some horizon scanning activities have already been undertaken about
invasive species, for example focusing on high risk species (e.g. Roy et
al. 2014), specific habitats (Ojaveer et al. 2014), or general issues
within European invasion science (e.g. Caffrey et al. 2014).
This project aims to complement these existing activities by exploring
the wider environmental, social and technological issues external to
invasion ecology that may have implications for the future management of
invasive species.
During the first phase of the project, we are gathering opinions on the
global and local issues that might affect the management of biological
invasions in the next 20 – 50 years.
We want to explore issues that may emerge and have implications in a
more distant future than currently considered in the management of
biological invasions.
These can be issues which might have positive or negative implications.
We invite people working with or interested in biological invasions to
fill in a survey on our website.
*To find out more, and fill in the survey, please visit
**www.alienfutures.org <http://www.alienfutures.org/>**.*
We encourage you to think creatively beyond the time frame of your
current work!
We would also be very grateful if you could forward this email to
colleagues or groups who may be interested in contributing.
Please copy in info(a)alienfutures.org <mailto:info@alienfutures.org>./
/
The survey also includes some questions about your background and your
interest in biological invasions.
It does not gather personally identifiable information unless you
provide us with an email address in order to hear about project outputs./
/
/
/All of the issues identified will be published online in an open-access
format, so please do not include any details that you would not wish to
be published.
Project outputs will include a long list of global issues, a long list
of local issues and a shortlist of global issues.
We will make the data available for use and further research, with
workshops planned to explore the implications of these issues for policy
and management.
You can follow the progress of the project on our website
www.alienfutures.org <http://www.alienfutures.org/>or follow us on

*Alien Futures* est un nouveau projet de recherche destiné à identifier
les futures problématiques de gestion des invasions biologiques aux
échelles mondiale et locale.
Les analyses prospectivesont pour objectif un examen systématique de
futures menaces et des possibilités d’y répondre.
Celles qui ont été conduites sur les invasions biologiques
s’intéressaient principalement aux espèces à haut risque (p. ex. Roy et
al. 2014), à des habitats spécifiques (p.ex. Ojaveer et al. 2014), ou à
des enjeux européens (p. ex. Caffrey et al. 2014).
Alien Futures vise à compléter ces précédentes approches en explorant
les futurs enjeux environnementaux, sociaux et techniques de la gestion
des invasions biologiques.
Ce projet consiste donc à recueillir les opinions sur les problématiques
mondiales et locales associées à la gestion des invasions dans les 20 –
50 années à venir.
Nous souhaitons en effet pouvoir identifier les questions et les points
clés à prendre en compte au-delà des stratégies actuelles de gestion des
invasions.
Les enjeux et problématiques considérés peuvent avoir des répercussions
positives ou négatives.
Si vous travaillez sur, ou avez un intérêt pour, les invasions
biologiques, nous vous invitons à répondre à une courte enquête en ligne
sur notre site web.
*Pour en savoir plus, et pour répondre à l’enquête, rendez-vous sur
**<http://www.alienfutures.org/>www.alienfutures.org.*
Nous vous encourageons à réfléchir de manière créative au-delà de votre
propre période d’activité sur ce sujet !
Cette enquête inclut également quelques questions sur votre contexte
professionnel et/ou d'intérêt en lien avec les invasions biologiques.
Nous ne collectons aucune information personnelle et identifiable, à
moins que vous ne nous communiquiez une adresse e-mail pour vous
informer des résultats d’Alien Futures.
Toutes les problématiques identifiées dans cette enquête seront publiées
en ligne dans un format open-access, n’incluez donc pas dans vos
réponses des détails que vous ne souhaitez pas voir publiés.
*Les résultats d’Alien Futures incluront des listes exhaustives des
problématiques mondiales et locales suggérées, et une liste de
problématiques mondiales estimées prioritaires. *
Nous rendrons les données disponibles pour des recherches futures sur le
sujet et la planification de workshops destinés à explorer les
conséquences de ces problématiques pour les politiques de gestion des
invasions.
Nous vous serions aussi reconnaissants de transmettre ce message à des
collègues ou groupes de travail susceptibles de contribuer à ce projet.
Merci de nous mettre en copie dans ce cas :

participar
*
*Alien Futures* es un nuevo proyecto de investigación que recoge y
examina cuestiones que pueden afectar a la gestión futura de las
invasiones biológicas, tanto a nivel global como local.
Escaneo del Horizonte implica un análisis sistemático de las amenazas
potenciales, oportunidades y posibles desarrollos futuros.
Ya se han llevado a cabo algunas actividades del escaneo del horizonte
sobreespecies invasoras, centrándose, por ejemplo, en las especies de
alto riesgo (p.ej. Roy et al 2014), hábitats específicos (Ojaveer et al
2014), o cuestiones generales dentro de la ciencia Europea de invasiones
biológicas (p.ej. Caffrey et al . 2014).
Este proyecto tiene como objetivo complementar estas actividades
existentes, mediante una amplia exploración ambiental, social y
tecnológica de cuestiones externas a la ecología de invasiones que
pueden tenerimplicaciones en la futura gestión de las especies invasoras.
Durante la primera fase del proyecto, estamos recopilando opiniones
sobre los temas globales y locales que puedan afectar a la gestión de
las invasiones biológicas en los próximos 20 - 50 años.
Queremos explorar las cuestiones que puedan surgir y que tienen
implicaciones futuras, positivas o negativas, en la gestión de especies
invasoras.
Invitamos a la gente que esté trabajando con las invasiones biológicas o
esté interesado en las mismas, a rellenar una breve encuesta en nuestra
página web.
*Para una mayor información, y rellenar la encuesta, por favor visite

International Workshop on Forest Science Publishing
IUFRO WP 9.01.06
Helsinki, Finland, 14 - 16 October 2015
Dear Colleague,
The International Workshop on Forest Science Publishing will be the first activity of the new Working Party 9.01.06 of IUFRO. The initiative to establish the Working Party was made in the IUFRO World Congress in Salt Lake City, USA, in October 2014. The aim of the working party is to provide a forum for discussions, training, exchange of ideas, and development of editorial practices of journals dealing with forests, wood science, and related research. The Working Party and its first meeting are expected to be of special interest to the editors, editorial board members, and reviewers of peer-reviewed forest science journals for discussing timely issues on scientific publishing.
Based on feedback from Working Party members, the first workshop will emphasise peer-review and open access/open data issues yet contributions on any issue relevant to forest science publishing are welcome. The workshop will be composed of keynote talks, voluntary oral and poster presentations, and working groups. The working groups will formulate the activities of the Working Party until the next IUFRO World Congress in 2019.
The workshop website is www.metla.fi/fsp2015/index.htm and we invite you to submit abstracts and register through the website. The abstract submission will be open through 15 August 2015. Registration at the lower fee 380 € will be open through 9 September 2015. Thereafter the registration fee will increase to late level 460 €. Abstract submission will redirect you to the Open Journal System of the Finnish Society of Forest Science and the Natural Resources Institute Finland.
We ask you to read the Author Guidelines before submitting an abstract. Selected presentations will be published as full articles in a special issue of Silva Fennica (www.silvafennica.fi <http://www.silvafennica.fi/> ).
We hope that you find all the relevant information on the workshop in these websites. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact chair of the organising committee, Pekka Nygren (contact details below).
On behalf of the Organising Committee of the Workshop and the Workshop host, The Finnish Society of Forest Science, I wish you welcome to Helsinki next October!
