Dear Mailing List Members:
As at past IUFRO World Congresses, there will be the opportunity to honour
special scientific performances and achievements with selected IUFRO Awards
in the Seoul Congress in 2010.
If you know scientists doing outstanding forest research, nominate them for
one of the IUFRO Awards and give them the opportunity to travel to and
participate in the Congress as well as the chance to present their research
to the Congress participants.
Choose among the Scientific Achievement Award (SAA), Outstanding Doctoral
Research Award (ODRA) and the IUFRO Student Award (ISA) and make your
nomination soon. Bear in mind that you can only nominate candidates from
IUFRO Member Organizations, - no self-nominations are accepted - and that
the deadline for submission is 31 July 2009.
Find more information and nomination forms on our website
http://www.iufro.org/discover/awards/ and send your nominations to the Chair
of the IUFRO Honours & Awards Committee (Dr. Su See Lee, leess(a)frim.gov.my)
with copy to the IUFRO Executive Director (Dr. Peter Mayer,
office(a)iufro.org)

achievements among young Doctoral researchers and to encourage further work
within the fields of research covered by the Union.
IUFRO Student Award (ISA)
One award per IUFRO Division to recognise outstanding individual
achievements in forest science made by Masters degree students (or
equivalent), and to encourage their further work within the fields of
research covered by the Union. Nominations can be made through IUFRO member
organizations or officeholders and through members of the International
Forestry Students Association (IFSA).
Furthermore, the Congress will also offer
Best Poster Award (BPA)
To encourage public dissemination of high quality research and to recognize

Dear Dr Gomez
I am the curator of the National Forestry Mycological Herbarium at Scion,
the New Zealand Forest Research Institute. Our herbarium acronym is
NZFRI-M.
I would like to borrow a specimen from the mycological herbarium at the
University of Murcia. The information for the botanical herbarium is on the
web - but I could not find a reference to the myco;logical herbarium.
Would you be able to forward this message to the right person? The
specimen that I seek is JL 7045.
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely
