Post Systematikdagarna 2024 Göteborg

A big thanks to all the attendees of Systematikdagarna for a wonderful meeting with a record high attendance of 120 people. A special thanks to the organising committee who made sure the meeting flowed smoothely, kept us well fed and for the visits to the Botanical Garden and the Museum of Natural History. This was also the first year that we organized an early career meeting the day before the conference, with 20 attendees, something we are sure to continue doing. -Mårten Klinth

Congratulations to Jan Klink and Adrian Hill who won prices for best student presentations.

Early Career Systematists in Sweden event, November 17th

Hi all new systematists!

We would like to invite you to participate in the Early Career Systematists in Sweden event on Sunday the 17th of November!

This event is free of charge and will take place in Gothenburg on the afternoon before Systematikdagarna (18th-19th of November). It will be a kickstart event for new systematists in Sweden, where you can network and get to know like-minded people in a relaxed environment! At this kickstart event, we will also have Dr. Jadranka Rota, curator of the Entomological Collections at Lund Biological Museum, Lund University, talking about her exciting career in systematics. Afterwards, we are planning to go for a joint dinner somewhere nearby.

The event will take place at Natrium, next to Konferenscentrum Wallenberg, the venue for Systematikdagarna (https://systematikforeningen.se/verksamhet/systematikdagarna/systematikdagarna-2024/).

The preliminary schedule for this early-career event is:

13:00    Introductions, ice-breaking activities

14:30    Fika/mingle

15:00    “A career in systematics (or how love and passion for a group of organisms can turn into a permanent position)” by Jadranka Rota, discussions

17:00    Wrap up, dinner/beer at a nearby pub

You can sign up for the event when signing up for Systematikdagarna here: https://systematikforeningen.se/events/registration-for-systematikdagarna-2024/
