Concerning IUFRO and the sharing of knowledge
The International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO) was founded in 1891-92 with the aim of rationalizing research techniques, standardizing systems of measurement and promoting international cooperation in forestry research. Today IUFRO has a membership of 10 000 scientists and 500 institutes from 85 countries. In addition to following its original aims, IUFRO represents an important level of scientific coordination undertaken by scientists themselves. It represents, therefore, not only the scientist's constant search for knowledge about life, but a sense of responsibility about the wise use of this knowledge: that it should not be used in isolation, but that it should be shared as much as possible. Mankind can only benefit from such a view and from such efforts.
This new UNASYLVA section for research news will appear from time to time and will carry news about IUFRO. It does not, however, replace or carry all the information of the IUFRO News, which is the organization's own newsletter.
First of all, we present the structure of IUFRO and the names of scientists in charge of various divisions and research groups. We do so not merely to support IUFRO, with which FAO has had a long association, but to give to our readers a useful and convenient tool for making international contacts as directly and personally as possible. Further information about IUFRO and its activities may be had by contacting the IUFRO in Vienna.

The International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO) has announced that it will hold its XVIIth World Congress in Kyoto, Japan, from 6 to 19 September 1981.
A week of conferences and discussions is to be followed by post-congress tours to various parts of the country for the purpose of gaining an understanding of Japanese forestry as well as general conditions of the country.
Host of the Congress will be the Japanese IUFRO Congress Council, which is made up of representatives of Japanese forestry organizations, including the national Forestry Agency, federal and local forestry research institutes, universities, academic societies and several professional associations.
Kyoto, picturesque and ancient capital of Japan, is located about 500 kilometres from Tokyo, a three-hour journey by fast express train. The theme of the Congress is "Research today for tomorrow's forests". The address of the Congress is:
