Enjoy and benefit from a week of scientific exchange, knowledge sharing, networking, collaboration and learning opportunities, and much more. Have a look at the week’s overview and delve into the preliminary session programme at: IUFRO World Congress 2024 Week Overview | IUFRO Stockholm 2024 (iufro2024.com)

The scientific content of the Congress is organised around five key themes with many sessions having a strong focus on genetics and genomics.

Here is a list of related Congress sessions that you should not miss:
