Registration now open for Biology20 in Fribourg, Switzerland:

We are delighted to announce that online registration and abstract
submission is now open for the Swiss Biology20 conference, to take place
on Thursday 6 and Friday 7 February 2020 at the University of Fribourg
in Switzerland (biology20.ch).

Direct link to the registration page: registration.biology20.ch

The deadline for abstract submission is 22 November 2019.

The deadline for registration is 6 January 2020.

Biology is the major annual Swiss conference on organismal biology,
covering all aspects of ecology, evolution, systematics, behavior, and
conservation. The meeting represents the annual meeting of the Swiss
Zoological (SZS), Botanical (SBS) and Systematics (SSS) societies who
co-sponsor the event via the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT), together
with support from the Swiss Bioinformatics Institute (SIB). It aims to
provide a platform for lively exchange between students, early-career
scientists and established researchers across diverse institutions and
disciplines within organismal biology.

To celebrate Darwin’s groundbreaking insights, this 2-day conference
traditionally takes place around Darwin’s birthday and brings together
approx. 300 participants from the Swiss community and beyond. It features
4 plenary talks by internationally renowned invited speakers; dozens of
contributed talks by early-career scientists; a lively poster session;
and, importantly, on Thursday evening the traditional ‘Darwin’s
birthday party’, a conference banquet with an after-dinner talk given
by a renowned invited speaker and followed by a party. The day before
the meeting (5 February) is reserved for a satellite meeting of the Swiss
Bioinformatics Institute (SIB) on 'Analyzing Microbiomes' (organized by
Laurent Falquet, Fribourg); if you are interested in attending the SIB
satellite meeting you can register using the above-mentioned link.

We are proud to announce our keynote speakers:

- Claudia Bank (Instituto Gulbenkian, Portugal (evolutionary dynamics)

- Iain Couzin (Max Planck Institute/Univ. of Konstanz, Germany)
  (collective behavior)

- Alexandra-Maria Klein (University of Freiburg, Germany) (ecosystems,
  landscape ecology)

- Andrea Waeschenbach (Natural History Museum, London) (molecular
  phylogenetics)

- Darwin dinner speaker: John Pannell (University of Lausanne, CH).

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you in Fribourg in
February 2020!


All best wishes, and on behalf of the organizing committee,
