International Union of Forest Research Organizations - 2014 World Congress

The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) - the World's Forest Science Network - is the largest global network for forest science cooperation. It unites more than 15,000 scientists in 650 member organizations in over 120 countries. 

Held every five years, the IUFRO World Congress is a premier global networking event, providing delegates with a unique opportunity to share experiences and learn what others are doing to protect, manage, and use forests around the world. This is only the second time in the organization's history that its World Congress is being held in the United States.
