Dear forent and forpath subscribers,
I am forwarding a message from Richard Sniezko regarding the IUFRO co-sponsored meeting on…
Rusts of Forest Trees, and genetics/conservation of 5-needle pines (white pine)
In June 2014 – see below and http://www.westernforestry.org/Events/conference/2014-five-needle-pine-gene…
Please note the deadline for abstract submission at the end of this month!
This is co-sponsored by the following two IUFRO WPs:
IUFRO 7.02.05 – Rusts of Forest Trees<http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division/70000/70200/70205/>
IUFRO 2.02.15 – Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines<http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20200/20215/>
Please direct any questions to Richard at rsniezko(a)fs.fed.us<mailto:rsniezko@fs.fed.us>
Best regards,
Eckehard (Ecki) Brockerhoff, Coordinator, IUFRO Div. 7 (Forest Health)

Subject: Abstracts due Jan 31 (for those applying for funding for June conference) RE: Candidates for sponsorship for attending IUFRO 2.02.15/7.02.05 June 2014conference
We’ll gather abstracts for these candidates early (requesting by Jan 31)
The focus of the meeting is [a] Rust of Forest Trees, and [b] 5-needle pine (white pine) genetics/conservation.
That will give the committee time to evaluate and IUFRO time to process.
There is potentially a chance to update an abstract by the March 5th date when other abstracts are due.

NOTE: This meeting is separate from the IUFRO World Congress which will be held in the U.S.A. in early Oct 2014 (I am not involved in that meeting)

June 2014 Conference: http://www.westernforestry.org/Events/conference/2014-five-needle-pine-gene…
Hello and Happy New Year!
We may have an unique opportunity to “support a maximum of 3 scientists (e.g. one each from Africa, Asia and Latin America) to attend the “Five needle pine genetics (2.02.15) & Rust of Forest Trees (7.02.05)” conference in June 2014. Some of you may know outstanding candidates around the world that normally would not have a chance to attend and contribute to this type of meeting.
I would like to ask for your assistance locating candidates (short deadline on this) - those qualifying for sponsorship are from “low income” and “lower middle income” countries that I have indicated in red on the list below (I’ve done this quickly, so subject to verification, the source pdf is attached). Our IUFRO conference organisers/scientific committee selects the candidates for sponsorship (based on abstract submitted). Please note that an approved oral or poster is a considered a pre-condition for sponsorship. There are several steps to go through in this process of sponsorship, so we need to locate suitable candidates as soon as possible.
Some possibilities: There are 5-needle pines (white pine) species in parts of Asia that we know little of; I’m sure there are many rusts of forest trees that we know little of.
Information about the IUFRO Working Groups and the conference can be found at the link below
June 2014 Conference: http://www.westernforestry.org/Events/conference/2014-five-needle-pine-gene…
We have limited funding opportunity here, so if you know good qualified candidates, that will help the committee in its decision.
***Please send names/emails to me at rsniezko(a)fs.fed.us<mailto:rsniezko@fs.fed.us>, or have the candidates send me their information (name, institute, email address, species working on, proposed title(s) of presentation. The call for abstracts will also be out soon (next week).
Best regards,
Richard
