The 125th Anniversary Congress is a unique opportunity to celebrate past achievements, highlight IUFRO’s vital role in providing a sound basis for political decisions at all levels, strengthen collaboration with our stakeholders, and build bridges to other sectors such as water, agriculture and energy.

This Congress aims to provide a platform for the exchange of scientific knowledge across the full range of forest and forest-related topics and scientific disciplines. A wide selection of technical sessions will highlight innovative research and interdisciplinary research approaches of relevance to forests, and focus on the transfer of scientific knowledge on critical global forest-related challenges to national and international political agendas.



In addition, a series of Science in Dialogue sessions are planned for this Congress with the aim of bringing scientists from forest-related and other relevant disciplines from all parts of the world together with national and international policy and decision makers and important stakeholders.



The IUFRO Anniversary Congress will be held in Freiburg, Germany, on 19-22 September 2017.
