Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you for the period of 11-14 September 2023<\/strong> to the University of Aveiro Portugal to attend the 5th meeting of the Working group “Benefits and Risks of Exotic Biological Control Agents<\/strong>” combined with the IOBC-Global working group<\/strong>. Please save these dates. Looking forward to welcoming you in Aveiro, Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This meeting is targeted at scientists and professionals working with Benefits and Risks of Exotic Biological Control Agents, and addresses the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents in forest production systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Benefits and risks of biological control of invasive exotic plants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Interactions between exotic biological control agents and native species<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents of emerging pests and pathogens<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Novel tools to access the benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Synergies between organizations and networks dealing with exotic Biological control agents<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 meeting will be the fifth main meeting of the IOBC-WPRS working group. The previous meetings took place in: Engelberg, Switzerland (2009), Hlubok\u00e1, Czech Republic (2011), Bornholm, Denmark (2015), and Azores, Portugal (2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the group is primarily based in Europe, the meetings attract delegates from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year the group also organized a symposium at the XXVI International Congress of Entomology (ICE2022) in Helsinki, Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IOBC working groups aim to provide a forum for discussion of different perspectives, under this frame directly following this IOBC Meeting, i.e. on Friday 15 September 2023<\/strong>, the Kick-off Meeting of the newly re-established European Weed Research Society Working Group (EWRS WG<\/a>) on \u00abBiological Control\u201c<\/strong> will take place in the same location (see preliminary programe<\/a>). The two meetings will be managed independently, but we hope for synergies between the two events, i.e. that participants might attend both events. All participants are welcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking forward to see you all in Aveiro!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
