REMINDER: CALL FOR IUFRO TASK FORCE PROPOSALS – CONCEPT NOTE DEADLINE: 31 DECEMBER
Forest Scientists, Colleagues,
This is a gentle reminder that IUFRO officeholders and members are invited to make proposals for new Task Forces for the Board term 2019-2024.
Please prepare, by 31 December 2018, a short 1-2 page Concept Note that provides a brief statement of the objectives/aims and proposed activities of the Task Force. The Task Forces will be established for an initial 2-year period with the possibility of an additional two-year extension.
Concept notes should be sent to John Parrotta, jparrotta(a)fs.fed.us <mailto:jparrotta@fs.fed.us> , with a copy to Renate Prüller, prueller(a)iufro.org <mailto:prueller@iufro.org> .
*****************************************************
IUFRO Task Forces are established on a temporary basis to advance inter‐disciplinary forest science cooperation in fields spanning IUFRO Divisional interests. They focus on emerging key issues that are of strong interest to policy makers and groups inside and outside the forest sector, and contribute to international processes and activities. Since 1991, over 30 IUFRO Task Forces have brought together scientists, policy-makers and other stakeholders to conduct innovative work across a broad range of topics.
The activities of Task Forces are varied, but commonly involve: development of expanded global collaboration and information-sharing networks on their focal topics, the organization of meetings or workshops, publication of interdisciplinary scientific syntheses as books or in special issues of peer-reviewed journals, and presentations in major regional or global science-policy platforms. Task Force coordinators are non-voting members of the IUFRO Board, and are invited and expected to attend IUFRO's annual Board meetings. For more information on the activities and accomplishments of current and earlier Task Forces please visit: https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/)
During the current (2014-2019) Board term, Task Forces were established for an initial 2-year period with the possibility of an additional two-year extension. In order to encourage activities across the full spectrum of IUFRO's disciplinary expertise, we will continue this practice. This will enable IUFRO to establish new Task Forces on a periodic basis throughout the 2019‐2024 Term to take advantage of emerging needs and opportunities.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Proposals for new Task Forces will be evaluated on the following criteria:
* Potential to strengthen inter‐Divisional collaboration on specific topics of global relevance related to one or more Emphasis Areas and/or Institutional Goals of the IUFRO Strategy (1);
* Specific contribution of the proposed Task Force to addressing broader policy processes or interdisciplinary science‐policy initiatives;
* Engagement of two or more Divisions by involving relevant Divisional units (Research Groups and/or Working Parties). Proposal should be jointly developed with the relevant IUFRO Divisions and their units, but may involve additional experts currently outside of the IUFRO network and partner institutions, as required.
* Task Force activities should not duplicate current work within IUFRO Divisions, but rather complement and expand their activities;
* Rationale for their involvement of (non-IUFRO) partner institutions (if relevant);
* Task Force membership reflecting required spectrum of scientific expertise (including both natural and social sciences), as well as geographical, cultural and gender diversity, and providing opportunities for early-career scientists;
* Clarity of timelines for proposed Task Force activities and their deliverables; while Task Forces can be proposed for up to the full length of the upcoming IUFRO term (until the July 2024 World Congress), it is highly recommended that proposed Task Forces consider more focused activities to be undertaken in the first two year period;
* Clarity of operational aspects (roles and responsibilities of Task Force coordinator and members, roles and responsibilities of partners involved, if any), budget for activities and funding sources.
(1) Please refer to the IUFRO Strategy at https://www.iufro.org/discover/strategy/ <http://www.iufro.org/discover/strategy/> for details.
PROCEDURE FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW TASK FORCES FOR THE 2019-2024 TERM
In order to proceed with the development of new Task Forces prior to the start of the new Board term in October 2019, we invite IUFRO officeholders and members to prepare, by 31 December 2018, a short 1-2 page Concept Note that provides a brief statement of the objectives/aims and proposed activities of the Task Force within the 2-year time frame. This will be reviewed by IUFRO Board members in January 2019, who will provide comments as well as suggestions regarding scientists from the Divisions who may be particularly interested in joining the proposed Task Force.
If the Task Force concept note is viewed favorably by the Board, then a full proposal will be requested, with a due date for full proposals of 31 March for 2019. All proposals will be reviewed (in early April 2019) by the Vice‐President for Task Forces in consultation with the IUFRO Management Committee and other members of the IUFRO Board. If revisions are required following proposal review, prospective Task Force coordinators will be asked to prepare a final revised proposal by late May 2019, after which a final decision on the establishment of new Task Forces within the 2-year time frame will be made by the IUFRO Board in early June 2019.
FORMAT FOR FULL PROPOSALS FOR NEW TASK FORCES
* Name of proposed Task Force
* Name of proposed Task Force coordinator, affiliation (including IUFRO position) and contact information
* Names of proposed Task Force members, their affiliations (including IUFRO positions), experience, proposed roles in the Task Force, and contact information
* Brief overview of the rationale, goals, and objectives of the proposed Task Force (1 paragraph)
* Description of specific proposed Task Force activities, deliverables and timelines. This should include planned focused meetings with tangible outputs such as ‘state‐of‐knowledge' reviews, journal papers, dedicated volumes, etc.
* Budget table listing major activities and funding sources, if known – indicate if these funds are already secured.
* Narrative addressing the following:
* Contribution to implementation of the IUFRO Strategy;
* How the proposed Task Force will strengthen cross‐Divisional interaction on specified topics related to IUFRO 2019‐2024 Strategy's Emphasis Areas and/or Institutional Goals, and how the Task Force will complement and/or expand activities of existing IUFRO Divisional units;
* Specific contribution of the proposed Task Force to addressing broader policy processes or interdisciplinary science-policy initiatives.
Concept Notes and full proposals should be sent to John Parrotta, jparrotta(a)fs.fed.us <mailto:jparrotta@fs.fed.us> , with a copy to Renate Prüller, prueller(a)iufro.org <mailto:prueller@iufro.org> .

Dear colleagues,
I hope you are doing well :)
I want to draw your attention to a recently launched initiative led by the IUFRO - IFSA Joint Task Force on Education, who also led the Educators Forum at the IUFRO Posadas event.
As many of you are educators yourself perhaps you have a method or best practice that could be showed off to the world and help raise the profile of the importance of Forest Education in the Latin American context, or perhaps you have a colleague who should be rewarded for their great teaching initiatives.
This year the International forest community has decided to celebrate Forest Education as a theme on the auspices of the International Day of Forests Celebration (every year on March 21st).
To do so a few different international organizations, mainly IUFRO, IFSA, University of Helsinki and FAO, have come together to launch 2 competitions for educators with three very intriguing prizes.
The first competition on Best Practices in Forestry education is available here:
<https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/forest-education/competition-best…> https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/forest-education/competition-best…
With a prize package of 1) An all-inclusive trip to Brazil to the World Forestry Congress 2) A fully funded forest visit to Finland
The second competition is put on by FAO, available here: <http://www.fao.org/international-day-of-forests/teachers-contest/en/> http://www.fao.org/international-day-of-forests/teachers-contest/en/
With a prize package of a fully funded trip to Rome to celebrate IDF here at UNFAO HQ.
I hope this can be of use to you and hope you can also share within your networks.
Many thanks,

Dear colleagues
herewith we remind of our <https://www.wsl.ch/en/about-wsl/events/courses-offered-by-wsl/summer-school…> International Summer School in Land-System Science ( <https://www.wsl.ch/land-system-science-2019> https://www.wsl.ch/land-system-science-2019) which will take place from
July 7 to 12, 2019 in Filzbach (Switzerland)
Students will develop an integrated understanding of land system science and landscape assessment. They learn to use state-of-the-art data, tools, and models for spatial analyses as well as improve their ability to build strong connections between scientific understanding and the communities of practice and policy that govern and manage the use of land.
This summer school is organized by the Swiss Federal Institute of Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL in cooperation with the Global Land Programme GLP and University of Berne. The lecturers build a multi-disciplinary group of renowned scientists from WSL, ETH Zurich, Wageningen University, Free University of Amsterdam, and University of Berne.
You find all information and the flyer to download at: <https://www.wsl.ch/land-system-science-2019> https://www.wsl.ch/land-system-science-2019
The deadline for application is extended until January 15, 2019. Please upload a motivation letter and a 1-page CV with your registration.
Please note that this summer school will take place right after the world congress of the International Association of Landscape Ecology IALE in Milano (Italy). You can reach the summer school venue in less than a half-day train trip from Milano.
Please spread this email among your colleagues, students, and anybody who may be interested!
Looking forward to your applications!
