[IUFRO RG 7.03 FORENT] Forest and Landscape Entomology at the ICE Finland 2020

Dear colleagues, The next International Congress of Entomology will be held in Helsinki, Finland in 2020 July 19-24 (http://ice2020helsinki.fi/). We have been asked to organise the "Forest Entomology and Urban Landscape" section, where a number of symposia can be accommodated. We are inviting proposals for symposia with topics that would fit in this section. We suggest that the IUFRO members in entomology could propose symposia in this framework so that different aspects of the discipline will be addressed. So we invite WP leaders and deputies to propose topics, although proposals are welcome also by other people. Symposium presentations will be 15 minutes each (including time for questions), allowing for the possibility of one ‘double-presentation’/keynote talk of 30 minutes (i.e. 20 minutes for the talk and 10 minutes for questions/discussion). There will be eight presentations per symposium (or seven if a keynote talk is included). Proposals to organize a symposium at ICE2020Helsinki should be submitted by the on-line submission system (https://submit.peerageofscience.org/conference/ICE_2020). Proposals should include a brief background/justification, the names of the organizers, a preliminary list of potential speakers, and any other relevant issues. Deadline: 31 October 2018. Andrea Battisti, Nathan Havill, Dmitry Musolin, Heli Viiri, the "Forest Entomology and Urban Landscape" section conveners. -- Andrea Battisti Universita di Padova DAFNAE-Entomologia Agripolis - Viale dell'Universita 16 35020 Legnaro PD Italia Tel. 0039 049 8272804 Mob. 0039 334 6952488 e-mail: andrea.battisti(a)unipd.it
