Dear colleagues,
I am delighted to announce that the next joint meeting of the IUFRO
working parties 2.02.15 (Breeding and genetic resources of five-needle
pines) and 7.02.05 (Rusts of forest trees) will take place in Invermere,
British Columbia, Canada, on July 22-26, 2019, with an extended field
trip on July 26-30, 2019. This beautiful site is in the heart of the
Columbia Basin, flanked to the west by the Purcell Mountains and to the
East by the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The attached announcement provides
some details and asks for an initial response from those interested in
either or both of these working groups.
The Proceedings of the previous joint meeting of these two IUFRO working
parties, that was held in June 2014 in Fort Collins, Colorado, are
available here:

Dear IUFRO pathologists,
Please find below and attached a call for abstracts for a technical session to be held at the IUFRO XXV World Congress meeting, September 29-October 5, 2019 in Curitiba, Brazil (http://www.iufro2019.com<http://www.iufro2019.com/> ).
We also would like to draw your attention on the existence of the new IUFRO 7.03.01 Working Party "Reproductive structure insects & pathogens" ( https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-7/70000/70300/70301/ ), which aims at expanding communication and co-operation among scientists and forest managers on the interactions between tree reproductive structures and both the insects and pathogens that feed and develop on them, as well as on the interactions between insects and pathogens when exploiting reproductive structures.
Please feel free to contact us (see emails below) for more information and joining the mailing list of this WP.
We will be happy that you circulate these informations among your own networks.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas, Marie-Anne & Olle
CALL FOR ABSTRACT FOR A TECHNICAL SESSION FOR THE CONGRESS THEME: BIODIVERSITY, ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS
TITLE OF THE SESSION : D7b - Biodiversity, biotic interactions and threats to forest ecosystem services associated with tree reproductive structure insects and pathogens in a changing world

Dear colleagues,
We are looking for a PhD student to work in a project "Forest Phytophthoras - ecology, diversity and management." We would be grateful if you can pass this information to any students you know of who might be interested.
The position is part of a larger recruitment of 5 PhD students at SLU Alnarp, who will be embedded in Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network PROTECTA (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2017-766048). In total, PROTECTA will recruit 15 students to academic and industrial research PhDs across Europe, with the aim to develop new and innovative ways to control oomycete diseases across the agriculture, environment, forestry and aquaculture sectors. We will study selected oomycete pathogens and their hosts in multidisciplinary cross-sectoral projects. Students will therefore be well connected to relevant industry mentors and undertake secondments at different locations in the consortium.
The prospective students can find the information at SLU webpage: https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/jobs-vacancies/

Dear Friends and colleagues
(subscribers of mailing lists Div7, RG7.01, RG7.02 and RG7.03)
Attached is the latest newsletter covering happenings over the last 12 months as well as upcoming meetings in the Forest Health Division and the three Research Groups (RG 7.01 - Air Pollution and Climate Change, RG 7.02 - Pathology, and RG 7.03 - Entomology).
Please let us know if we overlooked any events, and please share information for our next newsletter.
Apart from all the upcoming Division 7 conferences and meetings that are listed in the attached report, I'd like to draw your attention to the abstract submission dates for the next IUFRO World Congress in Curitiba, Brazil, 29 September - 5 October, 2019. Congress website: www.iufro2019.com<http://www.iufro2019.com>
Abstract submission was planned to start at 15 September 2018 but this has been postponed because of the large number of session proposals that were received, which required some consolidation.
Abstract submission should be available soon, and the abstract submission deadline is still planned to be 15 December 2018.
I know that many Division 7 contributors submitted session proposals. The interest in the congress and in organising sessions has been amazing. More than twice as many session proposals were received than can be accommodated at the congress. Unfortunately, this necessitated that some proposals that addressed similar topics were merged by the committee, and I think most have now been informed about the outcome. Someone mentioned that "arranged marriages can be good marriages" and I hope that those who are affected will be able to see some positives in this or at least be able to live with the decision. I should mention that I was not responsible for the merging decisions. Anyway, there is still some discussion about certain cases where the merging may not have been ideal. Please let me know if you are not satisfied with the outcome and if you feel strongly about this. My email is eckehard.brockerhoff(a)scionresearch.com<mailto:eckehard.brockerhoff@scionresearch.com>
I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming IUFRO meeting, and my best wishes for your research and other endeavours.
Kind regards,
Ecki Brockerhoff
Coordinator, IUFRO Division 7 - Forest Health

Dear Colleagues,
Preparations for the PREPSYS conference in Vienna (1-4 October, 2018) are proceeding well and we have filled the oral presentation programme for the meeting (copy of draft programme is attached).
There is still room at the BFW venue and would urge potential participants to register soon in order to be sure of attending. We are also very keen to have poster presentations which will be available for the whole conference and featured in a mixer session to enable the presenters to describe their work and discuss the findings. Details for registration and submission of posters are in the attached circular; essentially, please provide a title and short abstract along with your registration details by 14 September.
We look forward to a stimulating conference and to welcoming you to the beautiful city of Vienna.

Hi,
We have a PhD opportunity available: 'Foliar pathogens of pine: are there common triggers for resistance?’. We’d be grateful if you can bring this opportunity to the attention of any good students you know of who are looking for a PhD position.
The project involves a collaboration between Massey University and Scion. It will include bioinformatic analyses to find common invasion patterns in three foliar pine pathogens (2 fungal and 1 oomycete), screening for avirulence and virulence functions using both Nicotiana spp. and pine (using a screening system developed in our lab as part of a previous Massey-Scion collaborative project) and identification of potential plant immune receptors. The ultimate aim is to identify broad spectrum resistance in pine.
