The 18th international conference of the International Boreal Forest Research Association (IBFRA) is being hosted by the USDA Forest Service and the University of Maine in Bangor, Maine, USA. Invited keynote speakers, scientific sessions (oral and poster) and panel discussions will explore new scientific findings and their linkages with policy relating to the addressing change in boreal forests. Designed to engage and inform scientists, resource managers and policy makers, the conference themes will address the current and emerging challenges for the boreal, the role of science in addressing those challenges and the links between science, policy and practice.
Topics will include advances in research and policy relating to important regional and global issues around balancing resource use in the boreal with habitat and biodiversity objectives, strategies for mitigation of and adaptation to risks relating to a changing climate and changes in disturbance regimes, and socio-economic changes and impacts. Emphasis will be placed on the use of science to inform management practices and public policy in the boreal.
The abstract submission site will open on October 1, 2016, and authors will have until January 22, 2017 to submit papers. Sessions may be proposed to Dr. Christopher Woodall at abstracts(a)2017ibfra.org by January 1, 2017. Any questions may be directed to info(a)2017ibfra.org.
Date: 5-9 June 2017
Location: Bangor, Maine, U.S.A.

Betreff: Next IUFRO LE conference in Turkey cancelled - new venue needed
Dear colleagues of our IUFRO network,
I do have the difficult task to let you know that regrettably we cannot continue with the organization of our Conference for 2017 in beautiful Antalya as originally planned and announced in our last conference in Estonia. As you know, we are leaving very difficult times, not just in Turkey but also in France, Germany....so it is important to be able to continue with our efforts while finding the strength needed to continue working together.
At present, it is imperative that we find a suitable location for our next IUFRO-LE conference. So please find attached an application to propose a
suitable venue for 2018. I hope somebody there in our network feel
motivated to pursue the efforts that the scientific committee already started in preparation for the conference. So please if you do have support from your Institution do not hesitate to contact me so we can discuss before you complete details on the attached form.
Looking forward to hear from you with a great proposal. Hoping that in the future will regain security and stability in our world, let's continue more than ever our efforts supporting each other and working together.
My kindest regards to all,
Sandra Luque
