UNCLASSIFIED - NON CLASSIFIÉ Attention Behavioural/Chemical Ecologists and Forest Health Specialists: Are you working or studying in the global south and interested in developing some practical skills in the discipline of chemical ecology? If you are, please visit our webpage to learn more about a practical course in chemical ecology (https://www.africancentreofchemicalecology.com/about-1) This course will provide opportunities for young scientists and students from the Southern hemisphere to develop critical skills in chemical ecology through hands on experience in methods to advance the collection, identification, characterization and use of semiochemicals in insect pest management. This course is co-organized by the African Centre of Chemical Ecology, Asia-Pacific Association of Chemical Ecology and the Latin American Association of Chemical Ecology and supported by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations and the International Society of Chemical Ecology. To facilitate participation by students and early career professionals from the global south we are offering financial assistance to selected delegates to participate. Applications should be submitted by April 16, 2025 (see https://www.africancentreofchemicalecology.com/about-1 for instructions to apply) to ensure full consideration. The practical course will occur 20-31 October, 2025 (20-26 October will be the practical course; 27-31 October will be an IUFRO Working Party meeting focused on the intersection of the disciplines of behavioral/ chemical ecology and biological control). Delegates selected for participation must attend the practical course and are strongly encouraged to attend the meeting to network and see the techniques covered in the practical course applied to research questions). Delegates must also be prepared to participate in virtual lectures delivered in advance of the practical course to provide necessary background information. Please share this email, our flyer and direct anyone you think might be interested to our webpage (see address above). We look forward to hearing from you.

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).
