Upcoming 2.08.04 meetings
The Poplar and Willow Genetics Working Party, 2.08.04 arranges for the International Poplar Symposium (IPS) every four years for the presentation and discussion of the most recent and important scientific findings in Populus and Salix genetics, molecular biology, physiology, ecology, etc.
The Fifth International Poplar Symposium (IPS-V) will be held in October, 2010 in Orvieto, Italy and will follow previous poplar symposia held in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A (IPS-I, 1995), Orleans, France (IPS-II, 1999), Uppsala, Sweden (IPS-III, 2002), and Nanjing, China (IPS-IV, 2006). The conference venue will be Oriveto’s restored, 13th century City Palace located 100 km north of Rome. The theme of IPS-V will be the ultilization of the genetic and ecological potentials of poplar and willows in meeting the needs of a low-carbon, bioresource-based society. The symposium will be hosted by the National Research Council’s Institute of Forest and Environmental Biology (CNR-IBAF), the University of Tuscia, and the Agricultural Research Council’s Institute of Poplar Research, located at Casale Monferrato. IPS-V will include a three-day excursion to the Po River Valley in Northern Italy to view poplar and willows field trials, poplar manufacturing plants, bio-energy production facilities, poplar/willow phytoremediation sites, and a tour of Casale Monferrato's Institute of Poplar Research, located approximately 60 km from the Milan airport.
