Dear all,
As the world didn’t end December 21 there’s no reason why you shouldn’t
register and submit your abstracts for the third annual ForBio meeting before
the deadline January 20.
Below is the invitation again – hope to se you all!
The research school in biosystematics – ForBio – is happy to welcome you to
its third annual meeting March 4-6 2013 at Quality Hotel 33 in Oslo.
Our aim is to bring together scientist in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark from a
variety of backgrounds, all working with biosystematics. Leading experts in
several fields will give talks, and we invite you to use this meeting as an
opportunity to present and discuss your own research.
The meeting is open to anyone interested in biosystematics, and we especially
encourage ForBio members and their supervisors to participate. This year the
meeting will span three days in an attempt to accommodate all ForBio members
who want to give an oral research presentation.
ForBio will cover travel and accommodation costs for ForBio members who present
their research (oral or poster). There is no conference or dinner fee.
Please note that the conference will be followed by a bioinformatics workshop
(March 7-8) and you can register for the workshop when you register for the
annual meeting. More information on the workshop can be found at

Dear all,
On behalf of the research school in biosystematics – ForBio – I am sending a reminder about the course ”Biosystematics methods and biodiversity” that will be held July 30 – August 4, 2012 at Skibotn field station, Troms, Norway .
Expertise in collecting natural history specimens, gathering data associated with them, their identification based on morphological characters, and preservation for natural history collections is rapidly disappearing in many countries. This course aims to provide field experience for PhD students and post-docs in biosystematics who want to gain increased knowledge of specimen and data collection, specimen identification, and preservation for taxonomic research.
The registration deadline is June 15, 2012, but please see important registration information at http://www.forbio.uio.no/events/courses/2012/bio8001.html or contact Sergei Drovetski directly at sdr00@uit.no
The course is arranged by the Research School in Biosystematics – ForBio. There is no course fee, and PhD students/postdocs registered at Swedish or Norwegian universities can become ForBio members and will then have their travel and accommodation costs covered. For information about ForBio and its membership, please see http://www.forbio.uio.no/
This course will cover birds, vascular plants, and bryophytes.
Hope to see you at Skibotn, Sergei Drovetski.
