Dear Colleagues,

With great optimism, the Scientific Organizing Committee would like to announce the new dates of 20-24 September, 2021 for the IUFRO conference, "Biological Invasions in Forests: Trade, Ecology and Management" to be held in Prague, Czech Republic. This is a joint meeting of IUFRO units:
