Hello Colleagues,
The Dec. 31 deadline for submission of abstracts for presentations at the
Congress is approaching. If you would like to present (either oral or
poster) at the Congress, you should submit an abstract by visiting
http://www.iufro2010.com
then click on ?online abstract submission on the right?. You will be
prompted to establish a login ID and password prior to submitting an
abstract.
If you would like to submit an abstract for one of the sessions in our
Congress Theme ?Frontiers in forest and tree health? listed below, we
suggest that you contact the listed session coordinator to make sure that
there is still room in the session, before submitting an abstract with
that session designated.
It is also possible to submit an abstract without designating any of the
existing sessions. To do this, you should still select ?Frontiers in
Forest Health? as the Congress theme but select ?other? as the session.
The Congress Organizing Committee will organize these ?other?
presentations into sessions with similar content.
Finally, plans are being made for a special 2-day post-conference forest
health tour. As part of the tour, we would visit various forest stands
for first-hand view of some of the important insect and disease problems
in Korea. For more information, see
