[IUFRO RG 7.03 FORENT] 2014 IUFRO Congress session proposals

Hello friends and colleagues, The final deadline of 30 April for submission of session proposals for the 2014 IUFRO World Congress is rapidly approaching. The Congress will be held 5-11 October, 2014 in Salt Lake City, USA. We are lucky that one of the Congress themes has been designated as "Forest Health in a Changing World". The Congress organizers are encouraging proposals that focus on topics that are both interdisciplinary and international in scope and have an international representation of speakers. Proposals should include a tentative list of speakers and can be submitted by following directions at http://iufro2014.com/scientific-program/session-proposals . If you have an idea for organizing a session that intersects entomological topics, I encourage you to contact me before submitting a final proposal so that I can give you advice and avoid topics for which proposals have already been submitted. Organizing a session at the IUFRO Congress is a unique opportunity for generating discussion and novel insight into scientific topics that are interesting to you and others. -- Andrew Liebhold http://sandyliebhold.com Coordinator, IUFRO Research Group 7.03 "Forest Entomology" Northern Research Station 304-285-1512 USDA Forest Service 304-285-1505 FAX 180 Canfield St. 724-317-8668 mobile Morgantown, WV 26505 USA
