[Ein Bild, das Text, Schrift, Screenshot, Diagramm enth?lt. Automatisch generierte Beschreibung]Inclusion of women in the forest entomology and forest pathology workforce has been a difficult journey. While policies and resources exist for organizations and departments to increase diversity and retain women, there still exist large gaps in gender parity at forest research institutions globally. It is imperative that we better understand the barriers that exist for women in forest entomology and pathology so that more inclusive environments can be created that are welcoming towards women and other underrepresented groups. To assess these barriers and subsequent opportunities for improvement, we surveyed forest entomology and pathology professionals globally to ask about their experiences in the workforce. We also provide examples of trends in gender representation at relevant institutions. Barriers to success for women and men were very different; women experienced more barriers related to family caretaking while men experienced more barriers related to funding opportunities. These differences show where opportunities lie to better attract, support, and retain women in forest entomology and forest pathology. Although some trends in gender representation are promising, large gaps continue to exist which need to be addressed.

Dear All,
During the International Congress of Plant Pathology, 20 - 25 August 2023, in Lyon, France, the Forest Pathology subject matter committee will meet from 16:45 - 17:45 on Thursday, August 24, room Bellecour 1. In the programme on the congress website, the event is listed as "by invitation"; however, this meeting is open to all forest pathologists present in Lyon. We particularly invite graduate students who are attending the congress so that they may introduce themselves and their project to the forest pathology community. Opportunity will also be given for IUFRO working party representatives, and relevant society representatives, to make announcements. The primary objective of the meeting will be networking.
The Forest Pathology subject matter committee is one of the many subject matter committees associated with the ICPP. There is a close association between this SMC and IUFRO Research Group 7.02, Forest Pathology. Prof. Irene Barnes, deputy of RG 7.02, has agreed to take over as SMC chair for the upcoming ICPP term and will chair the SMC meeting in Lyon.
Best regards, Tod and Irene
