Description

This will be the 6th European Conservation Genetics meeting held since 2015. This meeting will be jointly organized by members from various institutions: Muséum cantonal des sciences naturelles du canton de Vaud, Museum d'histoire naturelle de la ville de Genève, Conservatoire et Jardin botanique de la ville de Genève, University of Lausanne and University of Geneva).

The conference will consist of 5 keynotes of 45 minutes and 25 talks of 20, divided into 5 half-day sessions. Poster sessions will also be organized. The presentations will be selected by a scientific committee on the basis of proposals, and the keynotes will be given by internationally renowned researchers covering different aspects of the field. Informal exchanges between participants will be encouraged via a series of social events. The final half-day will be devoted to local stakeholders, highlighting the importance of conserving variation within species.
Given the environmental changes caused by humans, biodiversity conservation is more topical than ever and of great interest to students.
