If you submit, please notify me at mahoganyforthefuture(a)gmail.com of
submission of abstract, I will inform the meeting organizers that the
abstract should be included in the *post facto* Meliaceae session. We need
a minimum of 6 abstracts for the session to occur. The organizers are very
kind in allowing this option for a Meliaceae session, since I did not
submit a proposal for the session in time (deadline was last June).
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any further
questions.
Regards,
Sheila

Dear Sheila,
It is not clear to me what session you would like us to contribute an
abstract to. There is currently no session for the Meliaceae. Are you
suggesting we develop an abstract and write in a session called “Research
advances for the Meliaceae”? Please advise how you foresee our being able
to to develop one.
Warm regards,
Laura

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!
Sheila Ward
Coordinator, IUFRO Working Party 1.04.02
