Dear colleague,
in a few days the deadline for submitting
abstracts for the upcoming IUFRO PWD symposium will end. So
I like to remind all of you who have interesting research
results in the framework of pine wood nematode, pine wilt
disease and the related vectors and are willing to
participate at the meeting to sent their abstract using the
conference tool on the symposium website http://dpg.phytomedizin.org/de/pwdc2013/.
The topics which will be covered by the
symposium are:
. Pine Wood Nemtode (PWN) Biology, Population
dynamics, Epidemiology, Modeling
· PWN in international trade, pathways and
impacts
· Systematic and diagnostics
· PWN interactions with bacteria and fungi
· Insect Vector
· Pine Wilt Disease management and contingency
planning
Choose the “registration” button and you will
be linked to the conference tool. Currently we have still
enough possibilities for presentations, so I like to inform
you that we postponed the deadline for one week to give you
the opportunity to submit your papers calmly. So the final
deadline will be 7th of July. All the other
deadlines will stay as they are. For the first round of
abstracts you may only submit a very brief summary of your
intended presentation. This will be the basis for the review
by the scientific committee. At the end of July you will be
informed about the acceptance of your presentation and we
will also provide guidance for the abstracts intended to be
published as conference proceedings. Additional information
are available on the homepage: http://dpg.phytomedizin.org/de/pwdc2013/the-conference/instructions-to-the-authors/.
In the meantime the conference homepage was
updated and several additions were made. So there were made
special arrangements with two hotels and we reserved 70
rooms: http://dpg.phytomedizin.org/de/pwdc2013/venue/accomodation/.
The keyword for the room reservation and special price is
“IUFRO”. I like to advise you to choose one of the two
hotels because the bus transfer to the conference room will
only depart from those hotels.
To give the local organizers more time for
their work I like to ask you to resister timely, not only
because the early bird fee payment is only valid until 31 July 2013. In the
framework of paying the conference fee I like to request
participants from non European Union countries to pay the
registration fee by credit card to avoid additional bank
charges which have to be paid by the participant. Thank you
for your cooperation.
The organization committee would be grateful if
you could share this email with people you think could be
interested to participate and
especially to those whom you sent the first call. Thank you!
I hope to see you in Braunschweig!
With best regards
for the local organizing board
Thomas Schroeder
P.S.: As I combined several email lists it
might be the case that you got my email repeatedly. Sorry
for any inconvenience which is caused by that!
