Dear all,
We are pleased to announce that, IUFRO 7.03.04 Diseases and Insects in Forest Nurseries Working Party Meeting will be held in Kuşadası, Turkey 21st - 26th of October, 2018 with oral and poster presentations along with social programs (http://ormanweb.sdu.edu.tr/iufro2018/)
Kuşadası is a resort town on Turkey's Aegean coast and the center of the seaside district of the same name within Aydın Province. It is located 95 km away from İzmir, and 71 km from Aydın. It's primary industry is tourism. There are many well preserved historical sites on the Aegean coast of Turkey belong to Greek and Roman eras. Ephesus is the nearest and best preserved one among them. The ancient city of Ephesus has been inscribed to the World Heritage List of the UNESCO.
On behalf of the organizing committee of the meeting, it is my great pleasure to invite all the interested researchers and educators in the international scientific community to join us in Kuşadası and share in the excitement of good science for the benefit of mankind.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Kuşadası in October, 2018.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. Dr. H. Tugba Dogmus

Dear Colleagues,
SAVE THE DATE!! 1-4 OCTOBER 2018 IN VIENNA, AUSTRIA
SECOND CIRCULAR
CONFERENCE: Preparing Europe for invasion by the beetles emerald ash borer and bronze birch borer, two major tree-killing pests
As part of our Euphresco project on emerald ash borer and bronze birch borer (PREPSYS - www.forestry.gov.uk/fr/prepsys<http://www.forestry.gov.uk/fr/prepsys>,) we have organised a conference on how Europe can prepare for potential invasion by the beetles. The conference will be held at BFW, Vienna from 1-4 October 2018. Details are in the attached announcement.
The conference is sponsored by OECD Cooperative Research Programme and by the UK Government Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra).
Apart from an outstanding list of invited keynote speakers, there are a limited number of oral presentation slots, as well as a poster paper session. Further details are in the attached second circular.
The Proceedings will be published in a special issue of the journal Forestry.
We hope that you can make the meeting and we look forward to seeing you in Vienna in October. Please email if you are interested and we will keep you informed of progress. Registration for the meeting will open in the near future, along with details of travel, hotels and the venue.
With best wishes,
Hugh Evans, Gernot Hoch and Mariella Marzano

Hello colleagues,
I apologize in advance for any duplicate postings.
If you or anyone you know is looking for a postdoctoral position and is interested in working in my program on tree-biotic interactions, particularly on tree defense/resistance mechanisms, please see attached opportunity. This opportunity is going to be highly selective (only 10 positions across the university), so I am looking for top notch finishing PhD students, or recent high-quality PhD graduates.
Please contact me directly if you are interested.
Thank you!

Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw you attention to an International Conference on Sentinel Plantings that will take place on 9-12 October 2018 in Sursee, Switzerland. Sentinel plantings are a tool for the detection, identification and risk assessment of pests and diseases before arrival, potentially allowing better prevention and management of new alien pest and disease introductions.
More details and preliminary programme will be made available on a dedicated website soon. The programme will include :
· Keynote lectures by international experts
· Presentations of the outputs of COST Action Global Warning
· Scientific sessions - posters and oral presentations
The meeting will be co-organised by COST Action Global Warning (www.ibles.pl/cost<http://www.ibles.pl/cost>), Botanical Gardens Conservation International (BGCI), the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisation (EPPO) and the Swiss Federal Research Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape (WSL).
For the organising committee, René Eschen.

Hello Forpathers and Forenters,
This is addressed to US-based scientists and others (including managers) interested in tree resistance to pathogens and insects as a tool to manage invasions. If you are not one of these people, please free to discard the message! Also, I apologize for the multiple messages if you are on both lists.
Caterina Villari (D.B. Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia) and I have prepared a document in response to a USDA NIFA request called “NIFA Listens: Investing in Science to Transform Lives.” (Please see attached.) Our document is also attached.
Caterina and I would like to know if anyone in the US interested in tree resistance is also interested in co-signing the document. Unfortunately we do not have time to edit or consider even minor changes, because the document is due into NIFA by the end of tomorrow, Dec. 1, 2017. If you are interested in co-signing the document AS IS, please send your name and affiliation to Caterina cvillari(a)uga.edu<mailto:cvillari@uga.edu>.
Thank you all for your consideration of this request!
