Dear Colleagues,
With the year drawing to a close, now is a good time to start thinking about travel plans for 2015 by reading the latest IUFRO RG 7.03 Entomology newsletter at:
http://forestinsects.org/iufro/70300_Newsletter_2014.pdf
Please take note of the information about the several IUFRO Forest Entomology working party meetings being planned for 2015. I'm sure that most of you would agree that IUFRO working party meetings are a fantastic opportunity to visit with old colleagues, meet new ones and find out about exciting new work happening in our field in different parts of the world.
In addition to information about upcoming conferences, the newsletter also contains reports on past meetings as well as news about the latest recipient of the George Varley award for excellence in forest insect research.
I wish all of you a peaceful holiday season and a great 2015!

Dear colleagues,
It is a great pleasure for us to invite you to attend the 14th International Conference of the International Union of Forestry Research Organization (IUFRO) Working Party 7.02.01 “Root and Butt rot of Forest Trees”!
You can find some preliminary information about the meeting on the web page given below.
We will continue to keep you informed of our progress about the meeting.

Dear Forpathers and Forenters,
I wanted to alert you to this exciting possibility for promising, high caliber, motivated students to join our Translational Plant Sciences Graduate Program here at Ohio State (see below and attached). I am specifically interested in finding students who may want to work with me, through this program, on forest/tree health matters involving translational aspects of plant biotechnology.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Enrico

______________________________________________________
The Ohio State Translational Plant Sciences Graduate Program (TPS - http://tpsgp.osu.edu/) is starting its third year with a call for highly qualified graduate students. This is an exciting program. Please let your students know of this opportunity!
* TPS-GP is designed to offer an individually driven pathway for our students to attain their PhDs. This could include an internship in a company, national lab, not for profit, etc. It could also include an international experience, either via an internship or as a student in our Dual-Degree program, which allows students to earn 2 PhDs at the same time, one from OSU and one from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
* The TPS-GP program is focused on a rigorous research experience that could include laboratory rotations and minimal coursework. Our Graduate Studies Committee is dedicated to tailoring every student's path to their PhD based on what each individual desires.
* Importantly, the TPS program pays a guaranteed fellowship with no teaching requirement, plus $2,000 per year for education & research needs, and 100% tuition remission for the full five years for students that maintain good standing in the program. That is a PhD "full-ride"!
* We are a young program here at OSU, which means our students have the individual attention of not only their advisor(s), but also the Program Chair, Dr. Thomas Mitchell, Program Director, Dr. Erich Grotewold, and all of the other members of the TPS faculty. They are all dedicated to seeing this trans-disciplinary program succeed.
* Students can be placed with faculty members from many different departments. These include Plant Pathology, Entomology, Horticulture and Crop Sciences, Molecular Genetics, Chem/Biochem, Microbiology, and Internal Medicine. Our students have the opportunity to work on novel interdisciplinary projects tailored to our students' long-term goals.
*
Ohio State is one of America's largest and most comprehensive universities. The main campus is located in the city of Columbus, the state capital (http://www.experiencecolumbus.com) The University is consistently ranked among the top national public universities.

Betreff: [IUFRO RG 7.02 FORPATH] EU COST Action FP1002 PERMIT Final
Conference - CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
Dear Colleagues,
The EU COST Action FP1002 PERMIT deals with invasive organisms and their
association with pathways for international transfer. The Action has been
running for over 3 years with particular concentration on the live Plants
for Planting pathway. We are now in the final year of the Action and during
the final week of October this year will be having a conference to summarise
the work of PERMIT and to interact with others in this field. The location
will be Estoril (near Lisbon) in Portugal and the local organiser is Dr
Edmundo Sousa.
We have a relatively limited number of places at the venue (around 70
participants) and are now publicising the meeting (see attached) and would
encourage you to consider contributing to it. Depending on the applicants
location and the subject matter of the presentation, there is a possibility
of providing financial support for travel and accommodation (EU COST rules
restrict the geographic locations that can be supported). Applicants from
Argentina, New Zealand and South Africa may be able to apply for funds in
those countries since they have signed up to COST and guaranteed some
funding for travel to COST meetings.
I look forward to hearing from you and, hopefully, to meeting some of you at
the conference in October.
With best wishes,
Hugh Evans
Chair of FP1002
