SEPT-ILES AND BAIE-COMEAU, QUÉBEC, CANADA
Dear members of the Boreal and Alpine Forest Ecosystems unit (IUFRO Unit 8.01.06),
It is my pleasure to announce that a traveling workshop on boreal forests will be held in Eastern Canada on 11-15 July 2016. The meeting will focus on “Climate-induced range shifts in boreal pest distribution and their ecological, economic and social consequences”, a topic of concern across the circumboreal forest domain.
The meeting will include field visits to insect-affected forests, as well as forest operations designed to recover affected trees. It will also feature prominent keynote speakers and venues located in close proximity to the majestic St-Laurence River.
The meeting organisation is being led by Louis De Grandpré, of the Canadian Forest Service, and co-sponsored by the International Boreal Forest Research Association (WWW.IBFRA.ORG) Further details on the program are posted on the IUFRO Calendar of Events (WWW.IUFRO.ORG/EVENTS) or can be obtained from Pierre Godbout

Betreff: International Workshop on Forest Science Publishing (IUFRO WP 9.01.06)
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!
