Trying for Meliaceae session at IUFRO 2017 (attachments included)
by Sheila Ward
Dear Meliaceae Researcher:
The IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress will be held in Freiburg, Germany,
September 19-22, 2017. The deadline for session proposals was June 30,
2016, and I missed that (!). But we still have an opportunity to organize a
session on Research Advances for the Meliaceae if sufficient abstracts are
submitted for such a session. So if you are interested in participating in
a session for the Meliaceae Working Party 1.04.02, (
http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-1/10000/10200/10204/) (
http://www.iufro.org/) please submit an abstract by *November 30, 2016*,
at http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts/ .
For the abstract to be considered for a Meliaceae session, please submit
under *Theme 3: Forests and Forest-Based Products for a Greener Future*,
and then *42 - Open Session*. Please send an email to
mahoganyforthefuture(a)gmail.com, when you have submitted an abstract for the
Meliaceae session, so that I can inform the meeting organizers that the
abstract should be included in the Meliaceae session. Instructions for
abstract submission are attached, as well as instructions for applying for
assistance to attend the meeting, if you qualify.
The IUFRO Meliaceae Working Party is a forum for the exchange of
information for all interested parties on sustainable management and
genetic resources for timber species of the Meliaceae. For the Meliaceae
session, it would be good to cover a range of advances in Meliaceae
management in natural forests and plantations, ecology, genetics, insects
and their control, and uses of Meliaceae species in different contexts such
as afforestation and watershed protection, among other topics.
Hope to see you in Freiburg!
