The call for abstracts is now open for this congress at http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts and the deadline for abstract submission is 30 November. Submit abstracts indicating proposal number 174, “Connecting People to Forest Science: Innovative Communication Approaches for Delivering Science” in the Congress segment: All Division 9 (Forest Policy and Economics) Meeting as you first choice for inclusion in the program. I will soon be sending a link with a summary, presentations, and other information from our Joint UNECE-FAO-FCN and IUFRO Communications and Public Relations Workshop held in Portland, Oregon, USA, 29 August to 1 September, 2016.
