Dear colleagues,
as the June online meeting had been quite well received, the decision
had been taken to do another meeting towards the end of the year of our
IUFRO group on Evolution and adaptation of Fagaceae and Nothofagaceae.
We propose to do a similar meeting with pre-recorded 20min talks and
then a short 5 min introduction to the talk before having time for
questions and discussion.
We would like to see more PhD students present their work. To motivate
them, we propose that they also can do a live 180 seconds talk (a
competition that is running in many countries, check it out at
_https://threeminutethesis.uq.edu.au
<https://threeminutethesis.uq.edu.au/>_).
In the following _*date *__*survey*_ you can pick your favourite dates
as well as indicate if you would like to introduce a pre-recorded 20min
talk or do a 180 seconds presentation. If possible, also leave a comment
with a preliminary title of your talk (or just some keywords about the
species concerned, and your scientific discipline).

As for the timing, we propose again a 2 hours meeting, but due to the
changes with the winter time change, we will use an inverted set-up,
which covers 2 dates :
21:00-23:00 GMT/UTC, early afternoon for for Americans (13-15 San
Francisco, 15-17 Chicago, 17-19 Buenos Aires), late in the day/night
for people in Europe (22-24 Paris CET) and so early the next day folks
in Asia (Shanghai 5-7 ;Tokyo 6-8). So for example the meeting would be
the 22 November for Americans and Europeans and the 23 November for Asians.
You will be able to watch the 20min talks one week before the meeting on
either Youtube or Youku, which also means that the recorded talks should
be available one week before the chosen meeting date.
We will also present results from the _*membership survey*_ that we
shared before the June meeting. A total of 50 people have responded
(whereas the mailing list is >140 people). We ask a few basic questions:
*
what are your research interests?
*
do you plan on participating in upcoming meetings in 2022?
*
how could the working group best engage you?
It would be great if we could have a more complete view of your IUFRO
group. The survey is still open and should take you less than ten
minutes to complete. Your participation would greatly help us make more
effective and engaging plans for future activities.

We hope to see you all there, virtually
