IUFRO congress in Freiburg and Div. 7 report
Dear Ecki and dear tree-health friends
I am answering this note because I a feel a modicum of disappointment that I will likely
miss many of your presentations during the coming week. The truth is that I need to
dedicate the focus of my time this week to the future of IUFRO and the many political
-social issues that arise on this 125th Anniversary of iUFRO.
I will get to as many as the Tree Health Sessions as I can -unfortunately Monday morning
is one of the time slots filled with various political engagements so I miss those
sessions.
If not elsewhere -I look forward to seeing you in the sidelines of the main events -do
come and say hello and also really enjoy the meeting. It will be very special both
scientifically and socially.
All best wishes
Mike

Dear friends and colleagues,
In just a few days many of you will be at the 125th Anniversary IUFRO Congress and
participate in sessions of Division 7 (Forest Health). There will be numerous sessions
sponsored by Division 7 Working Parties and Research Groups (all starting with “D7”), and
we will have two sessions with sub-plenary speakers (Barbara Bentz, Treena Burgess, Andrea
Battisti and Bill Manning).
Two of the sub-plenary presentations will be given in the ‘Division 7 Opening Session’ at
8:00 am on Monday morning (18 Sept.) in the main room of the concert hall (Rolf Böhme Saal
(Konzerthaus Freiburg).
The other two sub-plenary presentations will be given in the session ‘Forest health –
critical global issues in the 21st century’ on Thursday (21 Sept.), 13:30 - 15:00 in room
KG II - Auditorium Maximum of the University of Freiburg.
We will also have a business meeting where you will have the opportunity to meet and
discuss with Div. 7 coordinators and deputies, learn about upcoming meetings, and propose
meetings and conferences that you would like to organise. The business meetings will take
place on Tuesday (19 Sept.) from 20:00 h (8 pm) in room KG I - 1199 (Uni Freiburg). This
will be followed by a business meeting of RG 7.03 (Entomology) from 21:00 (9 pm) in KG I –
1139 (Uni Freiburg).
There has been much interest in the social event on Monday evening (18 Sept.). We have
just reached maximum capacity (140 people) at the venue, and those who registered for it
(by email to me) will shortly receive instructions on how to find it. There is a
possibility that some will not come, so if you are still interested in joining us for
this, please get in touch with me ( <mailto:eckehard.brockerhoff@scionresearch.com>
eckehard.brockerhoff(a)scionresearch.com).
Also, attached to this email is a report on recent and planned activities and meetings,
and changes in coordinators in Div. 7. It includes a special thanks to Jolanda Roux who
recently resigned from her position as coordinator of Research Group 7.02 (Pathology).
Former deputy Tod Ramsfield has been appointed as the new coordinator, and Beccy Ganley
and Julio Diez Casero are the new deputies.
On behalf of all the coordinators and deputies in the Forest Health Division of IUFRO I
can say that we look very much forward to seeing you next week!
Kind regards,
Ecki Brockerhoff (Coordinator Division 7, Forest Health)

New subject: coming IUFRO & EU LIFE meeting in Sweden, August 2018
Dear Colleagues;
1) first of all, sorry for eventual cross-posting as this message will apparently go to
several mailing lists;
2) with this message we (Jan Stenlid & myself) would like to announce that
preparations have already been initiated to organize IUFRO Working Party 7.02.01
"Root & Stem Rots" Conference, in conjunction with the "4th
International Elm Conference", as well as the Conference entitled "Recent
Advances in Research on Ash Dieback & Dutch Elm Disease (EC LIFE+ Nature)";
3) the EVENT is planned to cover not only above-mentioned topics, but also aspects of tree
breeding for resistance & propagation, entomology, biodiversity and related social
sciences;
4) provisional schedule:
- Sunday, August 26th, arrival, accommodation in Uppsala hotels, and reception at our
campus (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Ultuna); as the campus is
located about 15-20 min bus travel from the central Uppsala, one option for accommodation
could be http://www.sunnerstaherrgard.se/ which is within the 10-15 min walking distance
to the conference venue (along a river with beautiful scenery); ... and there you will get
value for money; please note that it is not a big hotel, so number of places is limited,
and there are numerous international events at our campus;
- August 26 - 27th, scientific sessions at Campus Ultuna;
- August 28th, half-day field excursion & travel by bus to Nynäshamn harbour, and then
taking ferry to Visby, Gotland Island (http://www.destinationgotland.se/en/ferry/ ; upon
arrival, individual accommodation and eventual sightseeing in one of the most beautiful
towns in the world is up to you; please note that buses, ferry, and (most of) lunches and
coffee breaks will be organized centrally from the budget of the EVENT;
- August 29th, scientific sessions at the conference centre in Visby;
- August 30th, half-day scientific sessions and then field excursion across the Island of
Gotland;
- Saturday, September 1st, departure, either from Visby airport (many flights to Stockholm
Arlanda airport with excellent international connections, duration approx. 50 min.), or by
the ferry back to the mainland Nynäshamn harbour with good bus/train connections to
Stockholm Arlanda airport;
http://www.destinationgotland.se/en/ferry/timetable-and-prices/timetable/bu…
);
5) IN CASE YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED TO PARTICIPATE; PLEASE BOOK THOSE DATES IN YOUR
CALENDER; AND SEND ME A SHORT NOTE INDICATING THE INTEREST (not binding) BEFORE CHRISTMAS
2017; we need this for planning reasons, as the logistics of this EVENT appears to be
rather complex;
6) in such case you will be included into the mailing list for future related
communications to come in early 2018;
7) funding for reimbursement for several invited keynote speakers has been already
secured, as well as the partial financial support for conference logistic/venues; yet, we
are continuously working for obtaining more support in order to keep registration fee
possibly low;
8) as recently discussed with Alfas Pliura, Editor in Chief of international scientific
journal Baltic Forestry (WoS Impact Factor above 0.6 and constantly growing, free open
access), submissions from this Conference to BF will be welcome and subjected for peer
review process, as full research articles, reviews, short communications, and selected
abstracts (upon publication, also indexed in WoS); please note that the material must
contain original data, must be unpublished, and that the deadline for submission is 2nd of
September 2018; so in case of interest, please do setting up and plan writing of the
material in good order;
9) i will be in touch with more details in January 2018;
kind regards, and looking forwards to meet you in Sweden;
Rimvys Vasaitis & Jan Stenlid
