Online Symposium: Legacy of the Tropical Forest Foundation 19 Jan 2023
The International Society of Tropical Foresters (ISTF) and the International Forestry Working Group of the Society of American Foresters (IFWG-SAF) are offering the online symposium “Legacy of the Tropical Forest Foundation” on Friday 19 January 2023 for 2.5 hours, at 7-930am Seattle, 10am-1230pm Washington DC, 10pm-1230am Jakarta.
The Tropical Forest Foundation was active from 1990 to 2015, with independent branches in Brazil, Indonesia, and Guyana, South America, continuing today. The TFF was a unique forum that engaged industry, conservation and researchers in productive dialogue about tropical forestry. The TFF had much impact by developing techniques and demonstration projects for low impact logging for the tropics, and the influence of the TFF continues today.
Symposium information is posted at https://tropicalforesters.org/blog/2024/01/13/online-symposium-legacy-of-th…. Find your time zone at https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html.

IUFRO Short Scientific Visits (SSV)
In 2023, IUFRO’s Special Programme for Development of Capacities will
offer grants of up to €5,000 for Short Scientific Visits for early
career scientists affiliated with IUFRO member organisations. These
visits will provide a unique opportunity for young scientists from
Africa, Asia and Latin America to visit a forest research organisation
overseas and conduct international scientific collaboration.
IUFRO is conscious of the importance of connecting the young forest
science community to address challenges facing forests and forestry.
Broadly, we strive to provide these future leaders with international
experience to better equip them to address future global challenges and
identify, create and fully utilise emerging opportunities.
The desired outcome is to provide both the grantee and their affiliated
organisation with the opportunity to build research collaboration and
capacity and to provide opportunities extending beyond the initial
scientific exchange. The goals for the grantee are broad and could
include for example, skills development, establishing productive
relationships with scientific peers in the host country, using the visit
to benefit their own research and, if possible, publishing of scientific
material.
*HOW TO APPLY? - BY 31 JULY 2023*
Potential applicants are required to contact the potential host
organisation prior to applying for a grant. Together they shall develop
and agree on essential elements for the short scientific visit grant
application including a project proposal and work plan, timing and
duration of the proposed visit, and a mentor in the host country.
Candidates interested in applying for a short scientific visit grant
should complete the online application form
<https://forms.office.com/e/ucSqLcBgme> and submit their complete
application documents in one PDF including all required application
documents (work plan, endorsement letter by host and applicant’s Head of
Department, and CV of applicant and mentor) *by 31 July 2023*. The PDF
document should be uploaded with a filename following the format
“SSV_FirstnameLastnameCountry.pdf” to this link
<https://iufroorg-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/grecu_iufro_org/Ethk61-DD…>. Only
complete applications will be considered.
For more information, please visit this web page
<https://www.iufro.org/science/special/spdc/sap/ssvgr23/>.
*EVALUATION CRITERIA*
The applicants will be selected on a competitive basis in accordance
with the following criteria
* Originality and relevance of the research topic
* Applicant’s previous experience and work on the proposed research topic
* Overall quality of the work plan
* Feasibility of the work planned at the host institution
* Geographic and gender balance
Applicants that have not previously been awarded a grant for a short
scientific visit have preference.
*FUNDING*
The grant supporting the scientific visits will be a lump sum payment of
up to €5,000 that will be paid once the grantee has acknowledged that
the application has been successful and upon signing of the grant
acceptance agreement.
The funding should cover travel and subsistence costs for the period of
the grant.
*HOST INSTITUTION*
The applicant will be responsible for obtaining the agreement of the
host institution before submitting the application. While the applicant
needs to be affiliated with a member organisation of IUFRO, the host
institution need not necessarily be a member institution. If you are
interested in *hosting an SSV*, we encourage you to *share this
application with potential candidates*.
*CONTACT*
Please see the relevant documents and information on the web page
<https://www.iufro.org/science/special/spdc/sap/ssvgr23/>.
Should you have any questions regarding the grant application, please
contact Mr Daniel Boehnke (boehnke(a)iufro.org).

Close-to-nature silviculture is considered an alternative approach to
traditional or conventional silviculture. It aims to emulate nature and
to integrate natural processes into management. IUFRO Divisions 1 and 4
joined forces and hosted an IUFRO All-Division 1 & 4 Online Conference
on this topic on 7 and 8 February 2023. **More*

There is often a gap in the information, experience, and genetic
material necessary to implement mixed-species planted forests at scale.
To address this knowledge gap, the FAO, the TreeDivNet network, IPC and
the IUFRO Task Force Resilient Planted Forests organized reviewed the
state of the art in the management of mixed and pure planted forests.
