Call for proposals to host 7th Int'l Poplar Symposium
The Poplar and Willow Genetics Working Party of the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO) convenes an International Poplar Symposium (IPS) every four years. This series of gatherings provides a international forum for presenting and discussing recent scientific findings on a wide range of topics related to poplar and willow. The last such symposium - IPS-VI - was held, very successfully, in Vancouver in 2014. See report on this website.
A call has been issued for proposals to host the next symposium - IPS-VII - in 2018. Proposals are to be submitted by April 1, 2016 to the coordinator of the IUFRO Working Party, Dr. Ron Zalesny of the U.S. Forest Service (rzalezny@fs.fed.us). By May 1, 2016, a selection committee will announce its decision, which will be noted also on this website.
See the full call for proposals which includes points to be considered in the selection.
