SIFI has been given the responsibility

This project page compiles material used for Sweden’s application of the the IUFRO world congress 2019. SIFI has been given responsibility for coordinating the preparations behind the application. The Stockholm Convention Bureau has supported with the budget and the compilation of the application. SLU will take on the hosting of the World Congress. SIFI has arranged a meeting and created a national IUFRO group to support the application process and in the future to support the Swedish involvement in IUFRO. In the light of this background the application looks promising.

The Swedish bid was selected for further consideration

In total, eight bids for the IUFRO World Congress 2019 were received by the deadline. The IUFRO Management Committee (MC) has carefully evaluated all bids. The Swedish bid submitted by SLU has been selected for further consideration together with a Tri-national bid submitted by Germany and a bid from Brazil.

The purpose was to (i) meet with representatives from organizations and Professional Congress Organizer (PCO) mentioned in the organizational plan; (ii) to assess specific facts as presented in the bidding documents and (iii) to discuss remaining questions.
