The IUFRO Congress Scientific Committee (CSC) is now accepting session proposals for the 2010 Congress. Session proposals will be accepted that address one or more of the following Congress themes:
- Forests and Climate Change
- Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use of Forest Resource
- Forest Environmental Services
- Asia’s Forests for the Future
- Forest Products and Production Processes for a Greener Future
- Emerging Technologies in the Forest Sector
- Frontiers in Forest and Tree Health
- Forests, Communities and Cultures

Who may submit a proposal?
The Congress Scientific Committee will accept proposals from all who share an interest in the future of forests and the themes of the Congress. While not required, we encourage submission of proposals that involve two or more IUFRO Divisions or Task Forces, and/or organizations not formally associated with IUFRO. We also encourage session proposals from university students at all levels. Session proposals from non-IUFRO member organizations will also be accepted but preference will be given to those that are prepared jointly with IUFRO Divisional units and Task Forces. If assistance is needed to identify appropriate partners within IUFRO, please contact the CSC Chair at: jparrotta(at)fs.fed.us
Proposals may be prepared and submitted using the Session Proposal Form.
The deadline for proposal submission is January 15th 2009.
Criteria for selection
Session proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by members of the Congress Scientific Committee with primary consideration given to its scientific quality, topical significance, and relevance to the Congress themes. Other factors that will be considered are: the involvement of multiple IUFRO units (Divisions, Task Forces, Research Groups and Working Parties) and/or non-IUFRO organizations; geographic and gender diversity of proposed session speakers/presenters; and the involvement of students and young scientists. Proposals will be evaluated as they are received, so we strongly encourage submissions well in advance of the January 15th deadline. Acceptance decisions will be made no later than January 30th, 2009.
