Joint Working Party Meeting Announcement

by Allison, Jeremy (he, him | il, lui)

UNCLASSIFIED - NON CLASSIFI? Attention Behavioural/Chemical Ecologists, Biological Control Practitioners and Forest Health Specialists: We are writing to let you know that the week of 27-October, 2025 there will be a joint IUFRO Working Party (7.03.13 "Biological control of forest insects and pathogens" and 7.03.16 "Behavioural and chemical ecology of forest insects) meeting with a focus on the intersection of Behavioural/ Chemical Ecology and Biological Control in Forest Ecosystems. This meeting will occur at the Future Africa campus, University of Pretoria (https://www.up.ac.za/future-africa) This meeting will be a combination of traditional powerpoint presentations and directed discussions, with an emphasis on the latter. Discussion sessions will have experts assigned to facilitate dialogue and rapporteurs to capture ideas in real time. Ideally the notes from these discussions will form the basis of follow up activities (e.g., synthesis papers, research proposals) with interested delegates. This meeting will also have a daylong excursion to see pest and pathogen management in Eucalyptus/Pine plantations and we can facilitate access of delegates to tourism activities (e.g., Kruger National Park) pre- and post-meeting. Please take a minute and answer the survey at this link (https://evento.renater.fr/survey/iufro-meeting-27-31-oct-2025-intersect-bet…) to let us know if you are considering participating (this meeting will be in-person only). If you have any questions, please contact any of us. We hope to you in South Africa later this year. Best wishes, Sigrid, Andres, Quentin, Anna, Jeremy, Brett, Lukas, Deborah Working Parties 7.03.13 and 7.03.16
