Dear forest entomology colleagues:
(apologies for duplicate postings)
Please save the dates for the an IUFRO forest insect meeting in Quebec,
8-11 July, 2019 (next summer). This will be a joint meeting of the two
IUFRO units:
7.03.06 – "Integrated management of forest defoliating insects"
7.03.07 – "Population dynamics of forest insects"
The conference is open to all and no IUFRO affiliation is necessary.
A field trip is planned to view the ongoing spruce budworm outbreak in
eastern Canada.
If you are interested in receiving future mailings regarding this
conference please contact Andrea Battisti (andrea.battisti at unipd.it ) or

The IUFRO Working Parties 7.03.06 – Integrated management of forest
defoliating insects and 7.03.07 – Population dynamics of forest
insects are organizing a joint meeting in Quebec City between July
8-11 2019 to mark the occasion of the ongoing spruce budworm outbreak
in eastern Canada.
Deepa Pureswaran is the local organiser and she put together a nice
programme attached to this message.
A website will be launched with the second circular.
For a better organization it would be good to know in advance those
who are interested to attend. Please contact the local organisers and
spread the information to those who may be interested in attending.
Best regards,

Please see below for a CALL by the International Plant Protection Convention for information to inform the International Forest Quarantine Research Group.

Subject: CALL for information on forest quarantine issues by IFQRG
CALL for information by the International Forest Quarantine Research Group from NPPOs and Forest Research Organisations
The International Forest Quarantine Research Group (IFQRG) has requested the IPPC Secretariat to circulate this e-mail to help them launch a call for information on forest quarantine issues and requests National and Regional Plant Protection Organizations (NPPO and RPPOs) as well as Forest Research Organisations to respond. Survey closes 31 August 2018.
The IFQRG has provided advice to the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM) and works closely with the Technical Panel for Forest Quarantine (TPFQ) providing research data to support some standards. In addition, it has provided information used for the development of IPPC Guides and training material.
Established in 2004, IFQRG provides a mechanism where critical forestry quarantine issues can be addressed through discussion and collaborative research. It serves to bring together scientists and phytosanitary officials to foster multi-disciplinary approaches to forest quarantine-related problems of global significance.
The group has three main function:
1. Advisory body: providing scientific analysis and review of global forestry related phytosanitary issues and new information
2. Discussion forum: providing a forum for the discussion and clarification of key forestry issues related to the phytosanitary implications of global trade
3. Research coordination: Identifying and undertaking collaborative scientific research aimed at high priority forestry quarantine questions
IFQRG is undertaking a global review of key forest quarantine issues as part of a strategy setting process to inform the future IFQRG research priorities.
We request that National and Regional Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs and RPPOs) respond to this CALL for information and circulate this call to appropriate national research institutions that have a focus on forest quarantine issues and request that these institutions to also contribute their own independent assessments.
An online survey will be used to collect the data. If individual questions are not of relevance to you, please skip the questions as appropriate. The survey will close on the 31 August 2018.
The survey was designed by scientists representing Oceania (Stephen PAWSON), Europe (Rene ESCHEN), South America (Juan CORLEY), North America (Ron MACK and Adnan UZUNOVIC), South Asia (Kavita GUPTA), and Africa (John Richard MBWAMBO). A synthesis of the survey will be presented for discussion at the 15th meeting of IFQRG to be held in Rome, 1 to 5 October 2018 ( http://www.ippc.int/en/events/event/670/ ).

Dear Forent colleagues,
You will find attached a PhD offer that is susceptible to interest one
of your student. I can add that it would be better to speak French
because of the interactions with local foresters.
Best regards
Alain
