Dear friends, I hope this message finds you well. On behalf of the IUFRO Working Party 2.09.02, I would like to thank you for your continued contributions to our research community and your active participation in our meetings. As all of you know, the next meeting will be in Harbin next August. As we begin planning future activities, we are looking ahead to the next IUFRO 2.09.02 meeting, which is expected to take place in 2028. We would like to ask whether you and your institution would be interested in hosting and organizing this meeting. We believe that your expertise, together with the excellent facilities and scientific environment at your institution, would provide an outstanding venue for bringing together researchers working in this field. Of course, we understand that organizing an international meeting is a significant commitment, and this message is simply intended to explore your interest at this stage. If hosting the meeting is something you would consider, we would be delighted to discuss the possibilities with you, including potential dates, venue, and organizational aspects. The Working Party would be pleased to support you throughout the planning process. We would greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts when convenient. Thank you for considering this invitation, and we look forward to your response. With best regards, [Your Name] Coordinator, IUFRO Working Party 2.09.02 Paloma Moncaleán, PhD.
