First announcement All-Division 7 Forest Pathology and Entomology Conference 6-9 September 2022, Lisbon, Portugal

by eckehard.brockerhoff＠wsl.ch

Dear friends and colleagues, As I mentioned in our recent newsletter / annual report, we will proceed with planning our next All-Division 7 Forest Pathology and Entomology Conference, to be held from 6-9 September 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal. Manuela Branco and José Carlos Franco will be the local organisers. Attached is a first announcement. At this time, we are asking for early indications of likely participation, preferably by 25 June 2021 or before. We have chosen this date because we need to enter into an agreement with the conference venue and that requires a partial payment of the venue hire fee. So we need to know if there is enough interest from potential participants. Therefore, we would like to ask you to ... submit session proposals (on any forest pathology or entomology topic); please send these to iufrolisbon2022(a)isa.ulisboa.pt by 25 June 2021 or preferably even earlier (see the attached announcement for further information); and/orlet us know if you plan to attend the conference by sending an email to iufrolisbon2022(a)isa.ulisboa.pt preferably also by 25 June 2021. That way we will add your name to our list for occasional email updates and subsequent announcements. We are hoping that many participants of forest health working parties will attend and support the conference. Please share this announcement with your forest pathology and entomology colleagues (including participants of past IUFRO meetings). Our apologies if you receive this message more than once as we will cross-post this announcement via other channels. Best wishes Ecki Brockerhoff, Manuela Branco and José Carlos Franco and the entire conference organising team Tod Ramsfield, Maartje Klapwijk, Beccy Ganley, Julio Diez, Barbara Bentz, Hervé Jactel and Joséphine Queffelec --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eckehard Brockerhoff, PhD Coordinator, IUFRO Division 7 (Forest Health) and Head of Research Unit 'Forest Health and Biotic Interactions' Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL Zürcherstrasse 111, CH-8903 Birmensdorf, Switzerland Tel +41 79 819 0882 eckehard.brockerhoff(a)wsl.ch

IUFRO biological invasion meeting in Prague is "on"

by Andrew Liebhold

Dear colleagues, On behalf of the Conference Organizing Committee, I want to share with you our plans for the IUFRO meeting "Biological Invasions in Forests: Trade, Ecology and Management". Having postponed the meeting twice, we are determined not to do so again and we are set to proceed with the dates of 20-24 September, 2021 in Prague, Czech Republic (Czech University of Life Sciences). This is a joint meeting of IUFRO units 7.03.12 - Alien Invasive Species and International Trade, 7.03.07 - Population Dynamics of Forest Insects and 8.02.04 - Ecology of Alien Invasives. Topics addressed during the conference include: - Invasions of non-native plants, insects, tree pathogens, and other organisms in forest ecosystems - The role of trade and travel as pathways for invasions - Ecology and impacts of non-native species in forests - Management of invasions / biosecurity There will be two keynote presentations, one by Dr. Jiří Hulcr and another by Dr. Petr Pyšek Currently we are planning the conference using a "mixed" format, meaning there will be both in-person and remote participation. Like other IUFRO conferences, we anticipate that most in-person attendees will be able to present if they wish. We will live-stream the conference and will include a limited number of remote presentations, however we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate all requests to present remotely due to time constraints. The COVID situation is changing quickly and despite encouraging developments, it unfortunately will not be possible for individuals from some regions and institutions to attend in-person but in those cases, we encourage remote participation. We are optimistic that many people will be able to attend. Further information about the conference and registration for in-person participation can be made at https://iufro.czu.cz/en Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions Andrew Liebhold http://sandyliebhold.com Northern Research Station 304-285-1512 USDA Forest Service 304-285-1505 FAX 180 Canfield St. 724-317-8668 mobile Morgantown, WV 26505 USA
