The deve- lopment of forest genomics and high-throughput genotyping methods, together with new and refined statistical approaches for population analysis, have brought extra- ordinary advances in the study of evolutionary processes in the wild. Tree species, such as pine, spruce, poplar and eucalyptus, are nowadays considered non-classi- cal models for population, evolutionary and ecological studies. Genetic diversity of forest trees is recognised to have ecosystem-wide importance. Multidisciplinary approaches, bringing together ecologists, geneticists and physiologists, amongst others, are now combined to understand the genetic determinism of adaptive traits and to study the patterns of adaptive variation at landscape level. In this spirit, an IUFRO Conference will be held in the exceptional venue of Alcalá de Henares (Madrid, Spain), in the line with previous IUFRO Working Group meetings on Population, ecological and conservation genetics (2.04.01) and Genomics (2.04.10). The IUFRO Conference will be organised jointly with the EU COST Action E-28 final meeting (Genosilva: European Forest Genomics Network), effectively mer- ging genomics and population and ecological genetic approaches. A selection of invi- ted speakers from different disciplines and the organization of thematic workshops will contribute to cutting-edge discussions, while enjoying the charming environment of the town of Alcalá de Henares. Multiple manifestations of Spanish history, from Romans to the Renaissance, are found in its churches, monuments and charming streets, which witnessed the birth of Miguel de Cervantes in 1547. The University, one of the oldest in Spain, became a model for other centres of learning in Europe and America after its foundation in 1499, which gave way to a process of urban rene- wal that transformed Alcalá into a university city built in accordance with the canons of classical architecture. UNESCO recognised the city and the University of Alcalá as a World Heritage Site in 1998. 00 27/9/06 13:10 Página 5 SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME 00 27/9/06 13:10 Página 6 00 27/9/06 13:10 Página 7 IUFRO PROGRAMME Sunday, October 1st 18.00 Conference check-in 19.00 Welcome cocktail Monday, October 2th 8.00 – 9.15 Conference Opening.
