Pontevedra, March 30th 2022
Dear Colleagues,
We are contacting you to share some exciting news! After a lengthy two-year delay, the 7th IUFRO International Workshop on 'Genetics of Tree-Parasite Interactions in Forestry - GTPI2022' will take place in Pontevedra (Galicia, Spain) from September 12-16th 2022. Please, feel free to disseminate this email and the accompanying flyer and announcement among your colleagues.
The call for abstracts is now open until May 15th.
Please submit your abstract at: https://forms.gle/TA1gtU4dAhEo8QvQ7<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…>
Due to the uncertainty regarding the number of attendees, we encourage you to please answer this email (lsampedro(a)mbg.csic.es<mailto:lsampedro@mbg.csic.es>) and let us know if you are willing to attend the meeting.
Please also find a list of tentative session topics in the attached announcement. If you are interested in organizing or leading a specific session on a particular topic of your interest, please contact us.
In addition, the announcement also contains essential meeting information; this includes lodging and tentative registration fees, which are subject to change depending on the number of attendees and sponsorship. Although this will be an in-person meeting, we will offer online access (via live stream) to the conference for those unable to travel.

These funds are intended for those who have limited access to financial support from their home institutions. These funds are available only for those who have submitted an abstract for an oral or poster presentation.
The IUFRO all Division 7 (Forest Health, Pathology and Entomology) 2022 conference has been scheduled in Lisbon, Portugal, from 6 to 9 September 2022, precisely for being able to attend both meetings. Pontevedra is a five-hour drive from Lisbon. We are planning to charter a bus from Lisbon to Pontevedra for those interested in attending both meetings.

Dear All,
As you are aware, IUFRO has planned a Regional Congress in Russia from September 23 - 25, 2022. Due to the events that are unfolding in Ukraine, the leadership team of Division 7 has informed IUFRO headquarters that we will not be participating in the congress, either in person or remotely. This message is to inform you of the stance that we have taken within Division 7.
IUFRO Headquarters is currently developing a response for this situation that will speak for all of IUFRO.

Dear friends and colleagues,
Attached is the Second announcement and a call for abstracts for the All-Division 7 Forest Health (pathology and entomology) conference in Lisbon, 6-9 September 2022.
We have decided to change the format to a hybrid conference which will allow participation in person or via Zoom. However, we hope that we will have a large number of participants coming to Lisbon to enable more personal interactions and to allow participation with the field trips and other side events. With most countries starting to relax their COVID measures and restrictions and with summer coming up, we are optimistic that in-person participation will be possible.
We encourage you to make use of the reduced early registration fee by registering before 30 April 2022. Please note, online participation will incur a registration fee because we need to recover the costs of the conference venue and online facilities and their operation. Changing registrations from in person to online participation and vice versa will be possible (in case you change your mind).
For more information, see the attached document which also has a link to the conference website.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any queries (email iufrolisbon2022(a)isa.ulisboa.pt)
We look forward to seeing you in Lisbon in about seven months!
Kind regards
Manuela Branco, José Carlos Franco and Ecki Brockerhoff

Hello all,
I am really thrilled to share the attached position description for the forest entomologist search now underway here at Ohio State University. For those of you who know him, this is the descendant of the position previously covered by Dan Herms.
Concurrently, our School of Environment and Natural Resources is searching for a junior faculty in Ecological Forestry and Restoration. I would expect potential synergies in this area as it may pertain to restoration after alien pest incursions.
Please spread the word to your local networks. We are trying to reach the widest possible audience of outstanding forest entomologists.
Any questions about the position can be addressed as described in the job ad. Anyone interested in potentially collaborating with me, please feel free to ask questions!
All the best,
Enrico
