Please find below the preliminary program (as of 17 Nov) for Systematikdagarna on 29–30 Nov. Lots of exciting talks! One free slot left – why don’t you take the opportunity to present your research!
Note that the registration was temporarily closed, but is now open again. Don’t forget to register in order to get the zoom link and password needed to participate (will be sent out closer to the event).
More posters are needed, so please provide that!
We’re looking forward to meeting you all online.
