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 http://www.iufro2010.com/?code=iu06&subp=0201
