Betreff: FW: IUFRO Div 9 seasons greetings; report 2012 and nomination of Division 9 coordination - deadline January 2013
Dear IUFRO colleagues,
The end of 2012 is approaching. This is the right time to thank all of you for your great commitment in IUFRO and in particular in Division 9. This is the second year since Division 9 came into being and we have proven that the different social perspectives of science covered by Division 9 are of highest relevance in forest research and therefore in IUFRO. Many events you have organized and co-organized, not least our first All Division 9 conference in Sarajevo have contributed to tighten the network of and within Division 9 and exchange knowledge and experiences. Thank you for all your efforts!!
However, one task is remaining. I am asking all coordinators and deputy-coordinators of Division 9 research groups and working parties to send me a report about the 2012 activities of the group (organizing/co-organizing events, communication, publishing) in order to allow me and IUFRO as an organization to recognize and communicate all your activities in the best way. Furthermore I would like to ask as well for your plans for the next year. Both parts can be reported in one document. Please send the report and plans document to me not later than January 15, 2013.
Furthermore we need to nominate a potential candidate for Division 9 coordination for the next term (2014- 2019). The coordinator position is the only one in the Division that needs to be elected by the IUFRO council. Nominations are possible until January 31, 2013. All individual members within IUFRO are allowed to nominate. The nominated person needs to accept nomination and a signature of his/her organization is needed as well. Please find details (and the necessary forms) at the following link: http://www.iufro.org/circular-members-nominations-2015-19/.
I wish you all a great season and I am looking forward to meet all of you in another successful year of Division 9 in 2013.
With sincerest regards

Si è conclusa la seconda edizione di Florens, Biennale Internazionale dei Beni Culturali e Ambientali, con un bilancio estremamente positivo che ha registrato oltre 10.000 presenze ai convegni, lectio magistralis, tavole rotonde e al Forum Internazionale: un ampio pubblico di studiosi, addetti ai lavori, ma anche studenti e cittadini che hanno partecipato con grande interesse.
La città di Firenze, per nove giornate, si è trasformata in una vera e propria capitale dei beni culturali e ambientali, con eventi spettacolari che ne hanno animato gli spazi pubblici come l’ostensione dei tre crocifissi di Michelangelo, Brunelleschi e Donatello nel Battistero, che ha visto oltre 30.000 presenze, la monumentale croce di Mimmo Paladino in Piazza Santa Croce ed Il giardino degli ulivi in Piazza San Giovanni, che hanno registrato oltre 200.000 visitatori nelle due piazze cittadine, la mostra fotografica sul paesaggio nel cortile di Michelozzo di Palazzo Vecchio che ne ha visti più di 35.000, così come hanno registrato un grande successo anche tutti gli eventi nel programma di Florens Off.
Grazie a tutti per la straordinaria partecipazione da Florens!
