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/
Just choose “Early career event Sunday 17th November” for 00,00 kr. If you are not attending Systematikdagarna, you can still register for the event by contacting me (emma.karrnas@biol.lu.se) or Mårten Klinth (marten@stationlinne.se) directly.
We are very much looking forward to this first early-career event and we hope to see many of you there!
Best wishes,
Emma & Mårten
