These proceedings result from a conference, “Ecology, Survey and Management of Forest Insects” held at the Congress Centre, Agricultural Academy in Kraków, Poland, 1-5 September, 2002. This meeting was hosted by the Agricultural Academy in Kraków and the Forest Research Institute, Warsaw and sponsored by IUFRO units 7.03.06 “Integrated management of forest defoliating insects”, 7.03.07 “Population dynamics of forest insects”, and 7.03.10 “Methodology of forest insect and disease survey in Central Europe.” The joint meeting was a great success and demonstrated the value of holding combined meetings among these three groups. Delegates presented a broad array of topics and included methods for surveying forest insects, population dynamics of forest insects, effects of insects and diseases in forest ecosystems, integrated management and biological control of forest insects. Seventy-four delegates from 22 countries attended the meeting. There were 33 oral and 28 poster presentations. Delegates presented a broad array of topics and included methods for surveying forest insects, population dynamics of forest insects, effects of insects and diseases in forest ecosystems, integrated management and biological control of forest insects.
