Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the call for abstracts for the *5th
International Symposium on the Genetics of Tree-Parasite Interactions
*to be held in Orleans, France (only 1h South of Paris) from *23 to 28
August 2015* is now open !
***** This Symposium is not restricted to forest trees. People working
on ornamental and fruit trees are most welcome !! *****
For those who experienced the previous editions of this Symposium, you
know that they are always very interesting, very rich, not only because
of the diversity of the attendees (phytopathologists, breeders,
entomologists, physiologists, evolutionary biologists ...) but also
because they are always organized in a way that most of the attendees
have an oportunity to present their work and in a format that fosters
discussions.
Also, compared to many other meetings, the registration fees are not so
high. It is 600 € for early bird registration (1 April) and only 500 €
for graduate students. These fees include all the meals (lunches +
diners) + field tour and conference diner.
Last but not least, some of you are *project leaders, group coordinators
or in the process of building a project*, and we have negociated some
extra free meeting rooms where you will be able to gather your troops,
so think seriously about this opportunity.
*Now is time to think seriously about participating to this event !*
There is a brand new website waiting for you with lots of information to
help you organize your trip and your presentation :
https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015
Although registrations to the meeting will open 2nd of
February,***_online abstract registration is now open !_*
<https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015/Abstract-submission>
Please circulate this information around you and think about other
colleagues or students in your lab who may be interested (think also
that France still is a good place for summer holidays, either before or
after the meeting !!).

We look forward to seeing you in Orleans !
