ForBio annual meeting March 8 – 9, 2012 in Trondheim, Norway

Registration is now open for the next annual meeting of ForBio – the Research School for Biosystematics. The meeting will take place March 8 – 9, 2012 in Trondheim, Norway.

Our annual meeting is meant to bring together scientist from a variety of backgrounds, all working with biosystematics. You will get the opportunity to listen to talks from the leaders in the field and discuss your own research. The meeting is open to anyone interested in biosystematics – no registration fee and free lunch included for all participants. ForBio members presenting their work will get accommodation and travel costs covered.

Please find more information about the meeting and how to register on our website www.forbio.uio.no

Hope to see you in Trondheim!

Länge leve systematikforeningen.se!

Idag lanserar Svenska systematikföreningen sin nya hemsida!

Målet med sidan är att den ska vara en attraktiv och kraftfull plattform för våra medlemmar att:

  • samla och hitta information om föreningen och vår verksamhet
  • publicera nyheter
  • starta och delta i diskussioner

Vi hoppas också att informationen och aktiviteten på hemsidan kommer att förmedla den svenska systematiska forskningens framsteg och dynamik till allmänheten!

Välkomna!
