by Oxbrough, Anne
Dear all,
This is a reminder that the deadline for the call for symposia for the
IUFRO Conference on Biodiversity in Forest Ecosystems and Landscapes is
on August 31st 2011. Details of how to apply can be found at
http://www.ucc.ie/en/iufro2012/ .
IUFRO in association with the Irish Dept. of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Food presents the Second International Conference on Biodiversity in
Forest Ecosystems and Landscapes. 28-31 August 2012, University College
Cork, Ireland. This conference will provide an international forum for
researchers, practitioners and students to discuss the challenges of
maintaining and enhancing biodiversity in forests, and consider emerging
trends in the sustainable management of forest ecosystems and
landscapes. This conference will build on the success of the first
IUFRO International Conference on Biodiversity in Forest Ecosystems and
Landscapes which was held in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada in 2008.
The call for abstracts of oral and poster presentations will open
shortly.
Many thanks,

High-level Research Conference "The Future Role of Bio-energy from Tree Biomass in Europe"
by burger
Dear Colleagues,
Forest bioenergy is one of six thematic areas included in the IUFRO Strategy
2010-2014. In this context, I would like to draw your attention to the
High-level Research Conference "The Future Role of Bio-energy from Tree
Biomass in Europe" that will be held from 6 to 11 November 2011 in Vienna,
Austria.
The conference is organized by IUFRO in collaboration with the European
Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) and the European Science
Foundation (ESF), the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry,
Environment and Water Management, and the Austrian Federal Research and
Training Centre for Forests, Natural Hazards and Landscape (BFW). The new
IUFRO Task Force on Forest Bioenergy has played a key role in developing the
scientific programme of the conference.
In 2011, the International Year of the Forest, the conference will
contribute to understanding bio-energy drivers, options and impacts on
forest growing, management and production of traditional goods and services
in the future. The scientific programme will focus on
- Availability of biomass
- Biodiversity, landscape ecology and soil water quality
- Supply chain and system evaluation
- Forest biomass as feedstock for the energy and biorefinery sector
The Conference will feature lectures by invited high-level speakers, short
talks by young and early stage researchers, poster sessions and open
discussion periods as well as a forward look. You can find detailed
information about the conference at <http://www.esf.org/index.php?id=8196>
http://www.esf.org/index.php?id=8196.
You are strongly encouraged to register your participation by 1 August 2011
