Register early
Registration for the World Congress on Agroforestry 2014 (WCA2014) has been open for several months, and will continue almost up to the date of the Congress. However, ‘early bird’ registration, offering a substantial saving, will close on 15 November 2013. Sign up here <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672…> .
What is it?
The World Agroforestry Centre and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, together with the Indian Society of Agroforestry and Global Initiatives, will hold the Congress in Delhi, India 10-14 February 2014.
The Congress, entitled ‘Trees for Life: Accelerating the Impacts of Agroforestry’, will draw over 1200 selected participants from the private, research and development sectors to share the current state of knowledge and accelerate the positive financial, environmental and social impacts of agroforestry.
Make a contribution
A more important date is the deadline to submit abstracts. Slots to present papers and take part in discussion sessions are filling up fast, and time is running out. The deadline for submissions is 30 September 2013, so you only have a little over two more weeks. Submit abstracts of papers and posters here <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672…> .
Abstracts submitted for the Congress will be evaluated and accepted for one of the following options:
* Oral presentation (in some form) in relevant sessions
* Presentation as a poster
* Suitability for the congress compendium
All abstracts selected will be included in the congress compendium.
A dynamic agenda
The Congress has a number of themes. The first day features presentations on Indian topics related to agroforestry. The second part deals with business and agroforestry, third is a consideration of development and agroforestry, and fourth is a review of scientific breakthroughs and innovation. The final day looks at the integration of science, business and development, with keynote speakers and a panel discussion, and a plenary discussion of the outcomes. The full list of themes is:
* Agroforestry systems, income and environmental benefits
* Climate change, multi-functionality, livestock and fish systems
(These two with an orientation towards India)
* The business of agroforestry: applying science
* Sustaining development through agroforestry
* Applying science to the future of agroforestry: breakthroughs and innovation
* Policy, innovation and global issues.
The agenda <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b67…> is structured to generate outputs that produce a global roadmap for agroforestry in the context of world development and create a deliberate and tangible legacy in terms of recognition, partnership, investment and impact.

As in the past IUFRO World Congresses, there will be an opportunity to honor special scientific performances and achievements with selected IUFRO Awards at the Salt Lake City Congress in 2014.
There are still good chances for your candidate to be among the awardees: awardees will win a ticket to travel to Salt Lake City and will have the opportunity to present the Award-winning work to the Congress participants. Therefore, choose among the Scientific Achievement Award (SAA), Outstanding Doctoral Research Award (ODRA) and the IUFRO Student Award (ISA) and make your nomination soon. Bear in mind that you can only nominate candidates from IUFRO Member Organizations, - no self-nominations are accepted – and that the deadline for submission expires at the end of August 2013.
Find more information and nomination forms on our website http://www.iufro.org/discover/awards/ and send your nominations to the Chair of the IUFRO Honors & Awards Committee (Dr. Shirong Liu, liusr(a)caf.ac.cn) with copy to the IUFRO Executive Director (office(a)iufro.org)

Chair of the IUFRO H&A Committee
IUFRO AWARDS at the IUFRO World Congress 2014
Scientific Achievement Award (SAA)
Up to 10 awards to recognize distinguished individual scientific achievements within the fields of research covered by IUFRO. Criteria for judgment will be dissemination of results, implementation of knowledge, methods or techniques in practical forestry and skilled research management (success in publications, meetings, funding, etc. in a larger group than the individual) and involvement in IUFRO activities.
Outstanding Doctoral Research Award (ODRA)
One award per IUFRO Division to recognize outstanding individual scientific achievements among young Doctoral researchers and to encourage further work within the fields of research covered by the Union.
IUFRO Student Award (ISA)
One award per IUFRO Division to recognize outstanding individual achievements in forest science made by Masters degree students (or equivalent), and to encourage their further work within the fields of research covered by the Union. Nominations can be made through IUFRO member organizations or officeholders and through members of the International Forestry Students’ Association (IFSA).
