Dear friends and colleagues,

Attached is the Second announcement and a call for abstracts for the All-Division 7 Forest Health (pathology and entomology) conference in Lisbon, 6-9 September 2022.

We have decided to change the format to a hybrid conference which will allow participation in person or via Zoom. However, we hope that we will have a large number of participants coming to Lisbon to enable more personal interactions and to allow participation with the field trips and other side events. With most countries starting to relax their COVID measures and restrictions and with summer coming up, we are optimistic that in-person participation will be possible.

We encourage you to make use of the reduced early registration fee by registering before 30 April 2022. Please note, online participation will incur a registration fee because we need to recover the costs of the conference venue and online facilities and their operation. Changing registrations from in person to online participation and vice versa will be possible (in case you change your mind).

For more information, see the attached document which also has a link to the conference website.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any queries (email iufrolisbon2022@isa.ulisboa.pt).

We look forward to seeing you in Lisbon in about seven months!

Kind regards

Manuela Branco, José Carlos Franco and Ecki Brockerhoff
