Dear colleagues,
Dear Participants of the 7th IUFRO 2.09.02 conference in Harbin (China).
We hope you enjoyed the scientific and social programme of the conference and that you had a safe journey back. We were delighted to welcome you in Harbin, and it was more than timely to get back to major networking activity in our scientific community. We are confident that this event will contribute to foster opportunities for both formal and unformal collaborations and we look forward to seeing you again no later than at our next 8th IUFRO 2.09.02 conference to be held in Savonlinna (Finland) 2028.
I would like to share with you some information regarding the publication of the papers presented at our last IUFRO Working Party 2.09.02 meeting.
There will be two publication options:
1.-Original research papers can be submitted for publication in the Journal of Forestry Research (https://link.springer.com/journal/11676) as mentioned by Dr. Shen during the conference. These papers will be considered for publication in a special issue/volume. Please, check the instructions in the web of the journal.
2.-Abstracts and extended abstracts will be published online, as has traditionally been the case.
For the option 2, 2e will accept as usual i) extended abstracts, and updated versions of iii) short abstracts.

Metz, France | October 5–7, 2027
The FORESTT International Conference invites established scientists, early-career researchers, and doctoral students, as well as forestry professionals and policy experts from around the world to submit abstracts for oral presentations and poster contributions.
Organized by the French research programme on forest resilience (FORESTT), coordinated by INRAE, under the auspices of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations<https://83n2e.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeG7uihu6bpqEOHIxuUeS/BqaEl…> (IUFRO), and in conjunction with major research initiatives (including e.g. the One Forest Vision initiative – OFVi, the Future Forests<https://83n2e.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeGEmAqj3mzziU6bhsnEi/VFhEk…> Cluster of Excellence of the University of Freiburg, Germany, the European FOREST Partnership<https://83n2e.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeGLdczY0yA9CZvuRr5oy/8d9T9…>, as well as several national and European research projects), the conference will provide a unique forum to discuss the resilience of forest social-ecological systems in the face of global environmental change.
Expected to attract 1,000 to 1,200 participants from academia, research organizations, public institutions, the forestry sector, and civil society, the conference will showcase the latest scientific advances while fostering interdisciplinary dialogue on one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
We welcome contributions presenting original research, emerging results, methodological developments, synthesis studies, case studies, innovative applications, and perspectives for future research and practice.
The call for abstracts is now open!

Objet : [IUFRO WP 2.09.02] International Forestry Conference 2027 – Metz, France
Dear all,
I am forwarding below the announcement regarding the International Forestry Conference, supported by IUFRO, which will be held next year in Metz, France, from 5–7 October 2027.
The conference is organised by FORESTT, the French research programme on forest resilience, coordinated by INRAE.
There are 31 symposia being organised as part of the conference, many of which are certainly of interest to the 2.09.02 community. I would therefore be grateful if you could circulate this announcement to the mailing list.
Perhaps this will also be a good opportunity for us to meet up again! J
One of the symposia will focus on forestry research infrastructures and is being organised by IN-SYLVA Europe, among other organisations.
Best regards,
Paloma
