[IUFRO RG 7.02 FORPATH] Forest Pathology Subject Matter Committee (SMC) meeting, ICPP, Lyon, 24 August.

UNCLASSIFIED - NON CLASSIFIÉ 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.
