WELCOME
| Dear Colleague: We are pleased to invite you to the forthcoming international scientific congress: "Applications of Biotechnology to Forest Genetics", which will be held in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Northern Spain); September 22-25, 1999. The congress aims to address, in the broadest sense, all possible applications of biotechnology to forest species and particularly to forest genetics. The main objective of this congress is to provide a forum for presentations and discussions on recent developments and the latest concepts of possible applications of forest biotechnology. The response to the Registration, reflected in the Congress Agenda below, allows us to offer an attractive programme. Working group 3 of COST Action 882, which works on vegetative propagation and the identification and control of phase changes during rejuvenation, will participate in the event. Several attractive social events will accompany the scientific programme. |
PROGRAMME
| The scientific programme includes oral and poster presentations, which have been grouped under the following sessions: |
 | Biodiversity and Molecular Markers |
| In vitro Propagation |
| Genetic Transformation |
| Phase Change Markers |
| Industrial applications of Forest Biotechnology |

LOCATION and VENUE
The City: Vitoria-Gasteiz is a beautiful city, which has been able to combine a rich artistic heritage with modern functional development. The city is rich in cultural and leisure activities and is located between the beautiful Cantabric Coast and the wine region of the Rioja. Vitoria is a tourist reference point of Northern Spain.
Congress Venue: All scientific sessions will be held in the Palacio Europa. This modern building is located in the thriving commercial area near the historic old part of the city. The Palacio Europa combines modern architecture with great luminosity and provides several fully equipped lecture and meeting rooms as well as space for exhibition and business offices.
Accommodation: Hotels have been arranged by the Organising Committee, but must be paid individually. See the MAP of Vitoria in the LOCATION FORM for more information. How to get there: Vitoria-Gasteiz has an excellent communication network and is easily reached by motorway or train from the main capitals of Spain and Europe. The airport offers daily flights to Madrid and Barcelona. The international airport of Bilbao is located only 60 km away. Please consult the attached TRANSPORT INFORMATION FORM for further details. Local Information: Weather and Clothes: Vitoria’s weather during September is quite pleasant. Temperatures may vary between 10ºC at night and 24ºC during the day. Mean temperature is expected to reach 16-17 degrees during Congress days. Mean rainfall during September at Vitoria almost reaches 50 l/m2, so be prepared to wear a light raincoat or umbrella. A thin jacket or sweater might help you to enjoy the town after dusk. Meals: For those of you from out of Spain, a few words about Spanish meals. The three main meals are breakfast, lunch and dinner. Except for those having a buffet breakfast at the hotel, coffee shops and cafeterías will usually sell you a cup of coffe or tee, with croissant or toast and orange juice. Lunch, the largest meal of the day, will take place between 1.30 and 3.00 pm. All Spanish restaurants must have a "menu of the day" that will sell you at a reduced price. The table below shows some places nearby the Europa Palace with orientative prices for the menu:
* More detailed information will be made available at registration Indeed, you can choose not to have the menu and enjoy some of the traditional fish and meat dishes at regular prices. Your other options are the cafeterías, where you can find appetizers, sandwiches and snacks, or chinese, pizza and hamburger places. Dinner time will usually start after 9 pm. and can last until 11.30 or 12.00 pm. Downtown is full of restaurants where you can find your choice, but do not expect "dinner menus". As an alternative to a regular dinner, from 8.00 pm on you will find many bars where you can enjoy our young Rioja wine while you eat small snaks (called "tapas" or "pintxos"). Visit the places and make your own choice (and you will not regret it). Other Useful Information: There is a Tourism Office located at the Southwest corner of the Florida Park (B5 in the map) where you can find additional information about our region. The office will remain open from 9 am to 1 pm and from 4 pm to 6 pm. If you have any emergency and can not contact any organisation member, please try telephone number 112. They will help you or put you into contact with people that will do it. For international telephone calls dial the prefix "00" followed by the country code. Electricity is at 220 V. |
SOCIAL EVENTS and EXCURSION
Welcome Meeting: This will provide an excellent opportunity to meet and mingle, to exchange impressions and to give additional information about the event. Sightseeing tour of Vitoria and Reception in the City Hall: We will visit the old part of the city, which contains many churches and civil buildings from the centuries XIV, XV and XVI. Afterwards, the City Hall will offer a welcome cocktail. Visit to Laguardia and conference dinner in a wine cellar of the Rioja: Rioja Alavesa and Laguardia: This area comprises a Mediterranean climate, covered extensively with vineyards of the renowned wines with the "Rioja Alavesa" Denomination of Origin label. The rich heritage of this area ranges from prehistoric remains such as dolmens and iron-age settlements, as well as walled townships such as Laguardia or Labraza. The cuisine of this area is typical of the rich Rioja Alavesa gastronomic tradition. Guggenheim museum: The building was designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry and maintains a permanent collection of the Solomon Guggenheim Foundation in New York. Moreover, large temporary exhibitions are organised. The building is considered as one of the 10 most beautiful of the century.
Excursion to a productive forest of radiata pine: Radiata pine is one of the most productive forest species in the world and occupies 150.000 Ha in the Basque Country. Several features of its management regime will be explained in situ, such as plantation, thinning, pruning and final cropping.
