IUFRO is an international network of forest scientists working in a very broad range of research areas, including forest health and the management of invasive species. The IUFRO working groups 7.03.13 and 7.03.16 focus on research related to the biological control of forest insect pests and pathogens and ****. This is the first meeting of the working group since the meeting in Poland in 2015, and the first time this working group has met in Africa! The working group meetings are generally not too large (less than 100 people) which allows easier engagement with fellow researchers.

28-30 October 2025

 

IUFRO is an international network of forest scientists working in a very broad range of research areas, including forest health and the management of invasive species.

This will be a joint meeting of two IUFRO working groups, and will focus on research related to the biological control, insect behaviour and chemical ecology of forest pests, and importantly the meeting will explore the interaction between these different disciplines.

Working group meetings are generally small enough to facilitate engagement with fellow researchers.
