------------------------------------------------
Innovative formats of science-policy-society interaction (session 43)
Regina Rhodius, Michael Böcher, Michael Pregernig, Georg Winkel
Forest science is a discipline with a strong tradition in and focus on applied, solution-oriented research. Nevertheless, to generate und communicate scientific knowledge that is indeed relevant for forest-related decisions, a better interaction between science, policy and society is crucial. Against this background, within the session we will discuss two current approaches contributing to bridging science, policy and society by offering innovative formats of interaction: A) the concept of transdisciplinarity, and B) concepts of scientific knowledge transfer. In the subsequent panel discussion, we will bring together the concepts and discuss in how far and under which conditions they contribute to a better science-policy-society interaction. For both session parts, we invite oral and poster presentations.
Part A: Forest science between 'research for the sector' and a new wave of 'transdisciplinarity'
(Regina Rhodius, Michael Pregernig, Georg Winkel)
Transdisciplinarity is seen as a new paradigm as regards the cooperation between science and society: Following the principles of co-design, the research topics and questions shall be set not only by the involved scientists, but in close cooperation with practitioners and civil society; following the principle of co-production, this cooperation shall be continued during the following research phase itself. In light of this, this part of the session strives to discuss and assess in how far the concept of 'transdisciplinarity' relates to the current practices in forest research. We explore, further, if the concept is useful for forest research practice, and where the challenges to be overcome lie. Thus, we invite papers that report on forest research projects with a transdisciplinary approach to discuss, inter alia, the following questions:
* How is transdisciplinarity practiced in forest research projects?
* Does it make a difference to forest research - or is it just old wine in new skins?
* What are the main challenges forest research is facing when applying principles of transdisciplinarity?
* What can the transdisciplinarity community learn from experiences of forest research?
Part B: Advanced approaches for a better understanding of scientific knowledge transfer for interconnecting forest-related policies, science and people
(Michael Böcher, IUFRO sub division 9.05.07 - Science policy interactions)
Interconnecting forests, science and people for achieving a sustainable life on earth is often a question of how forest-related policy decisions from the global to the local level are based on latest scientific findings. Especially natural scientists often claim that politicians neglect their forest-related findings whereas political actors state that science that they need has to be well in time, practically usable and directed towards their current political problems. An irony is that, despite this central "misunderstanding" between scientists and political actors, modern forest policy that includes aspects that go much beyond traditional forestry is more and more dependent on interdisciplinary science-based expertise. For a successful interconnection between forests, science, and people, we need an advanced knowledge about the conditions under which scientific knowledge transfer can be successful to be utilized in respective forest-related policies. Part B of the session will take up this crucial question and wants to discuss conceptual as well as empirical contributions that lead to an advanced understanding of scientific knowledge transfer for interconnecting forest-related policies, science and people. The sub session is organized by "IUFRO sub division 9.05.07 - Science policy interactions" and serves as a follow up to the very successful session during the last IUFRO world congress in Salt Lake City.

Subject: Survey on web-based tools for internal communication
Dear Members of the IUFRO Communications and Public Relations Working Party:
During our Forest Communicators meeting in Portland, US (29 Aug-1 Sep 2016), it was raised that an appropriate communication tool would be needed for our group to stay in touch in between the annual meetings.
To identify the most appropriate tool for discussion and sharing knowledge between members, please complete this online questionnaire<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CTHNKGH> by 30 November 2016. It will take you less than five minutes to fill in. The results of the survey will inform the decision on setting up an online communication platform.
A similar survey is being sent to the members of the UNECE-FAO Forest Communications Network, so if you are part of both networks, please respond to both surveys.
Thank you for sparing a few minutes to take this survey.
Ewa

*Dear IUFRO Division 9 colleagues,*
Thank you very much for your contributions this summer to updating your
units’ address lists/mailing lists and to the recent survey
questionnaire of working parties that was requested by the
Vice-President for Divisions. With this email I am reporting back from
IUFRO’s Executive Board Meeting in Beijing last month (building on an
email from a colleague of Division 1) and reminding you that the
deadline for submission of abstracts for IUFRO’s 125^th Anniversary
Congress 2017 is rapidly approaching.
*IUFRO EB MEETING*
The recent meeting of IUFRO’s Executive Board took place 21-22 October
2016 in Beijing, China, in connection with IUFRO’s Regional Congress for
Asia and Oceania 2016 (24-27 October). The Board had some very
productive discussions and drew important conclusions for future
directions of our organization. As a truly international organization,
IUFRO now includes more than 650 members institutions in 125 countries.
/IUFRO Triple Survey/
In the near future, IUFRO HQ will send out surveys to (1) IUFRO office
holders, (2) members of the International Council and (3) heads of
member institutions on your / their perception of IUFRO. This is an
important survey for our organization, for example for adjusting and
setting new strategic goals and in considerations of possible
adjustments in our organizational structure. I really recommend that you
set aside time to respond to the survey when you receive it. In addition
to this, an external review panel will be established to provide
additional guidance for future directions and for adjusting our
communication with non-IUFRO forest stakeholders.
/Mailing lists/
Division Coordinators unanimously suggested that in the future mailing
lists of participants at our conferences, symposia, meetings, workshops,
courses, etc. should be forwarded directly to the HQ, c/o Brigitte
Burger (burger(a)iufro.org <mailto:burger@iufro.org>), and that these will
be used for updating and maintaining the address lists of all units. If
you have additional updates or addresses for inclusion, these can be
forwarded at any time. We believe that this simple procedure will help
facilitate and improve our communication with colleagues around the
world that share an interest in IUFRO activities, but do not hold a
IUFRO office.
/Recruiting of IUFRO office holders/
The Board, including all Division Coordinators, is much concerned about
recruiting new and younger IUFRO officers at our regular officer
‘turn-overs’ every 4 years (remember: you can hold your IUFRO office for
only 2 times 4 years = 8 years in total; then have to step down, step up
or step over to some other position). The Board agreed to establish,
together with IFSA, a IUFRO/IFSA Mentor Program for Potential Incoming
Officers. We hope this will help rejuvenate (if not regenerate) IUFRO. I
take this opportunity of reminding all of you to actively consider your
replacement in due course before you have to step down yourself. We
still urgently need more younger officers, more female officers, and
more officers from certain, often disadvantaged, parts of the world.
*IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress 2017*
As you are all aware IUFRO’s 125th Anniversary Congress will be held in
Freiburg 19-22 September 2017. Division 9 has submitted (got accepted)
the largest number of sessions of all Divisions (more than 30!). You
have probably already been reminded before, but: the deadline for
submission of abstracts for presentation is 30 November 2016. I strongly
encourage all of you to contribute to this very special congress and to
help in recruiting more contributions to populate the many congress
sessions. You can read more about these at
http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts/
/All Division 9 Meeting/
During the IUFRO 125 Anniversary congress there will be an All Division
9 meeting held. It is not yet clear at which time slot this will take
place but we assume at the very beginning of the conference. In order to
discuss organizational matters and to understand synergies and
possibilities for intra-divisional cooperation, please join this
meeting. You will be informed about the time as soon as we get more
information about this.
/Cross-divisional OPEN sessions///
There are a few cross-divisional sessions with topics that range across
multiple divisions and research topics. All of these sessions are open
for oral as well as poster presentations, /no speakers have been
appointed in advance/! Please consider contributing to these special
sessions and encourage scientists in your IUFRO unit to submit abstracts
specifically for the cross-divisional sessions. You may mention in the
submission which session the presentation is intended for. The titles of
the three cross-divisional sessions follow below; you can find more
detailed information on the congress website.
**I in particular I want to highlight to raise your attention to the
session
_SILVICULTURE FOR NON-WOOD ECOSYSTEM SERVICES_(together with Division 4,
6 and 1)
We specifically invite research on the interface between silviculture
and non-wood ecosystem services such as recreation, biodiversity, ground
water and other non-timber products and forest uses. We also invite
presentations on research relating to management philosophy and
silvicultural concepts for non-wood ecosystem services.
Good luck with your remaining IUFRO activities in 2016 and with your
IUFRO preparations for 2017!
