XXVI IUFRO World Congress: REMINDER - Call for Session Proposals
*XXVI IUFRO World Congress 2024 FORESTS AND SOCIETY TOWARDS 2050*

*XXVI IUFRO World Congress: REMINDER - CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS Deadline
for proposals: 13 October 2022*
The Congress Scientific Committee invites submission of session proposals
for the 2024 IUFRO World Congress. In line with the spirit of the Congress
title – Forest and Society towards 2050 ‐ the Congress Scientific Committee
is developing a program that will highlight the forest contributions to the
UN 2030 Agenda and its sustainable development goals and beyond. The
Congress program will reflect the forest science community’s diverse
contributions across the full range of natural and social science
disciplines, with special emphasis on the themes and subthemes available at
the Congress website (https://iufro2024.com/)
*Who may submit a session proposal?*
All who share an interest in the future of forests and forest-related
science are invited to submit session proposals. We encourage proposals
that involve collaboration between two or more IUFRO Divisions or Task
Forces and/or with organizations not formally associated with IUFRO, and
from university students at all levels. We strongly recommend IUFRO
officeholders and others actively involved in IUFRO Research Groups,
Working Parties, and Task Forces communicate with their respective Division
representatives on the CSC (or Task Force coordinators) before submitting
proposals – this will greatly facilitate broader involvement of IUFRO
divisional units and Task Forces in the scientific program and avoid
overlaps among sessions.
Session proposals from non‐IUFRO member organizations are encouraged
although preference will be given to those that are prepared jointly with
IUFRO Divisional Units and Task Forces (see https://www.iufro.org/science/
<https://www.iufro.org/science/> for more information).
*Type of sessions*
Two types of sessions may be proposed. Sub-plenary sessions are expected to
attract a large audience (from 550 to 2000 people) and to address the major
elements of one of the Congress themes (see below). Sub-themes expand the
theme descriptions and do not necessarily translate into sub-plenary
sessions. Technical sessions should also focus on Congress themes or
sub-themes but may be more narrow in their scope and attract from 45 to 700
attendees. Sub-plenary session proposals that are not approved by the CSC
will be considered for Technical sessions.
*Preparing and submitting a session proposal*
Proposals should be submitted in English, *online at
https://iufro2024.com/session-proposals
<https://iufro2024.com/session-proposals>*. For questions and technical
support about session submission, please contact
abstracts.iufro2024(a)appinconf.com*. **Proposals will not be accepted after
13 October 2022*.
Session proposals should include session title, moderator(s), description
i.e. an abstract with the rationale of the session (400 words),
organizers(s)’ details, suggested session time slot, alignment with
Congress themes (ab. 100 words), session information with tentative titles
and presenters, alignment with selection criteria (ab. 200 words), and
relevant IUFRO Unit(s). Proposed sessions should be organized to be
nominally 2 hours in length. For sessions involving oral presentations, we
recommend that 15 min including discussion be adopted for standard oral
presentations, and 30 min for sub-plenary talks. However, we encourage
proponents to be innovative, and to consider panel discussions, interactive
poster sessions and other session formats to engage Congress participants.
*Modification of accepted session proposals*
Please note that the abstract submission process will be open to all, so
session organizers may need to include papers or posters that were not
originally proposed for their sessions. Please be aware of this possibility
and the need for flexibility in designing your session. In the event that
the number of accepted abstracts for a particular session exceeds the
number that can be accommodated in a single session, organizers may be
given an additional session slot in the Congress program.
*Criteria for selection*
Session proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by members of the Congress
Scientific Committee with primary consideration given to their scientific
quality, relevance to the Congress themes, and geographic and gender
diversity of proposed session organizers, moderators and proposed
presenters. Other factors that will be considered are: the involvement of
two or more IUFRO units (Divisions, Task Forces, Research Groups and
Working Parties) and/or IUFRO and non‐IUFRO member organizations; and the
involvement of students and early-career scientists and professionals. We
strongly encourage submissions well in advance of the 13th October deadline.
Acceptance decisions will be made no later than 17 January 2023. An open
Call for Abstracts will be issued on 1 February 2023, with online abstract
submission until 2 June 2023, and acceptance decisions provided by 30
October. The Congress timelines are available at the Congress website (
https://iufro2024.com/) and below.
*Responsibilities of session organizers*
Session organizers of accepted proposals are expected to communicate with
prospective presenters regarding submission of abstracts (online), will be
asked to review abstracts submitted for their sessions during the abstract
review period (i.e., from June to October 2023) and are in charge of
language editing of the accepted abstracts. They are also responsible for
ensuring that session moderators attend the Congress and are encouraged to
pursue publication options for papers presented in their sessions. Formal
Congress proceedings with full papers will not be published. Session
organizers, moderators and speakers will have to pay the Congress fee.
We look forward to hearing from you and for your active participation in
the design of an excellent scientific program for the 2024 IUFRO Congress
in Stockholm, Sweden.

Dear IUFRO Mahogany e-list:
A request has come in from Fiji for information on the price for certified
mahogany timber in international markets. I have passed on information on
the ITTO Tropical Timber Market Reports at
https://www.itto.int/market_information_service/ If you have additional
information on this topic, please contact mahoganyforthefuture(a)gmail.com

Dear IUFRO Meliaceae Working Party:
The time has come to organize a virtual symposium on the Meliaceae. We
should aim for sometime in September, 2-3 hours in length. If you would
like to make a presentation, please send to mahoganyforthefuture(a)gmail.com,
your name, abstract, and approximate desired length for the presentation.
These will be reviewed by the Meliaceae Working Party. If we have many
submissions, we will organize more than one symposium!

Sheila Ward
