Dear colleagues,
I wish all of you a great new year and hope to meet many of you at the one or the other IUFRO activity.
Preparations for the IUFRO World Congress are well under way and I would like to ask you to pay attention to the call for proposal for technical sessions, which is open from
January until April 2013. I am convinced that this is an opportunity Division 9 and all of its research groups and working parties should use; raising attention for our part of the forest research area and of course using the chance to strengthen our
network. Please find detailed information for proposing sessions at the following link

Another request: Division 3 plans to organize a sub-plenary session on Bioenergy. For this session they would like to see amongst others a key note on “Biomass utilization policies and implementation”. I would like to
ask you to spread this news in your research groups and working parties and propose names for this task to me not later than February3rd 2013. The idea behind is that the key note speaker might as well organize a technical session on the same issue.
Last issue of this email: Still some reports from working parties and research groups about past and future activities are missing. Please send them to me the LATEST JANUARY 31st. Thanks to all of you who have
sent the report already: an impressive amount of work has been done!
With best regards
Daniela
