information and discuss up-to-date issues relating to biological control. This includes the various approaches to biological control, e.g. conservation, augmentation, and importation of natural enemy species for the control of arthropod targets. It also encompasses various transversal issues, including the uptake of biological control and socio-economic impact. There will also be one or two sessions designed to enhance inter-disciplinary collaboration. The aim of the meeting is also to stimulate ideas by presenting new information. Therefore, all presentations should present original project data rather than overviews, summaries, or well-known material. The scientific outputs from post graduate students and post docs are particularly welcome. Proposals for scientific sessions, themes and session organizers will be received and selected by the scientific committee. The selection of presentations will be the responsibility of the session organizers in collaboration with the scientific committee. Submissions not accepted as oral presentations due to time restrictions will still be considered as poster presentations.
International participation
This conference continues the series of international symposia on the biological control of arthropods held every four years. Dr Roy Van Driesche was the founder of the symposia and held the first meeting in Hawaii in January 2002. The second meeting took place in Davos, Switzerland, in September 2005, the third in Christchurch, New Zealand, in February 2009 and the latest one was n, Chile, in March 2013. The upcoming 5th symposium held in Puco will follow the proven format and framework of the previous four symposia as they have all been very successful and highly appreciated by the participants. The goal of these symposia is to create a forum where biological control researchers and practitioners can meet to exchange

An important goal of these meetings is to be truly international, with good participation from all parts of the world. After previously being held in North and South America, Europe and Australasia, it is a great opportunity to be able to host the symposium in continental Asia and to be able to link in a number of colleagues from this region who have previously not had the opportunity to participate. As such, it is an excellent opportunity to create and expand networks. To promote international participation, the local organizing committee will identify “Regional Coordinators” whose job will be to promote awareness of the meeting among biological control workers in specific geographic areas. Selected scientific session leaders will also be requested to ensure an international atmosphere during sessions.
