Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the call for abstracts for the *5th
International Symposium on the Genetics of Tree-Parasite Interactions
*to be held in Orleans, France (only 1h South of Paris) from *23 to 28
August 2015* is now open !
***** This Symposium is not restricted to forest trees. People working
on ornamental and fruit trees are most welcome !! *****
For those who experienced the previous editions of this Symposium, you
know that they are always very interesting, very rich, not only because
of the diversity of the attendees (phytopathologists, breeders,
entomologists, physiologists, evolutionary biologists ...) but also
because they are always organized in a way that most of the attendees
have an oportunity to present their work and in a format that fosters
discussions.
Also, compared to many other meetings, the registration fees are not so
high. It is 600 € for early bird registration (1 April) and only 500 €
for graduate students. These fees include all the meals (lunches +
diners) + field tour and conference diner.
Last but not least, some of you are *project leaders, group coordinators
or in the process of building a project*, and we have negociated some
extra free meeting rooms where you will be able to gather your troops,
so think seriously about this opportunity.
*Now is time to think seriously about participating to this event !*
There is a brand new website waiting for you with lots of information to
help you organize your trip and your presentation :
https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015
Although registrations to the meeting will open 2nd of
February,***_online abstract registration is now open !_*
<https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015/Abstract-submission>
Please circulate this information around you and think about other
colleagues or students in your lab who may be interested (think also
that France still is a good place for summer holidays, either before or
after the meeting !!).
<https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015>
We look forward to seeing you in Orleans !

Dear Colleagues,
With the year drawing to a close, now is a good time to start thinking about travel plans for 2015 by reading the latest IUFRO RG 7.03 Entomology newsletter at:
http://forestinsects.org/iufro/70300_Newsletter_2014.pdf
Please take note of the information about the several IUFRO Forest Entomology working party meetings being planned for 2015. I'm sure that most of you would agree that IUFRO working party meetings are a fantastic opportunity to visit with old colleagues, meet new ones and find out about exciting new work happening in our field in different parts of the world.
In addition to information about upcoming conferences, the newsletter also contains reports on past meetings as well as news about the latest recipient of the George Varley award for excellence in forest insect research.
I wish all of you a peaceful holiday season and a great 2015!
