Welcome to Systematikdagarna 2015!
Systematikdagarna 2015 will take place at Arkivcentrum Syd in Lund November 23–24. The conference is jointly arranged by Svenska Systematikföreningen, the University of Lund and the Swedish Taxonomy Initiative (Svenska artprojektet).
For whom?
Systematikdagarna is the yearly conference on systematics arranged by the Swedish Systematists Association. The meeting is open for anyone interested in systematics; amateurs, working systematists, and users of systematics in any form.
The conference will be mainly held in English so that non-Scandinavian participants also can benefit from the conference. The annual meeting of Svenska Systematikföreningen will be held in Swedish.
Programme and conference poster
We are aiming at a diverse program covering several recent advances in systematics. Topics included so far are the role of epigenetics in species separation, new findings on palaeontology, updates on the implementation of the Nagoya protocol, and more, but not the least, we also hope for interesting contributions by you participants.
See below for a draft version of the programme, but note that it will be updated continuously.
If you have the possibility, feel free to print the conference poster and post it at your institution.
Conference location
Arkivcentrum Syd is the new location of the Biological Museum at Lund University and include the botanical collections and part of the zoological collections. Conference localities and other facilities are also located within Arkivcentrum Syd.
Arkivcentrum Syd is located at the southeastern part of Lund, but connections to the city centre are frequent and fast. There are possibilities to stay at hotels close to the Arkivcentrum Syd or in central Lund. Lunches will be served close to Arkivcentrum, but late afternoon on Monday 23, activities will be arranged at the Botanical Garden and the Historical Museum with the Sven Nilsson exhibition in central Lund, and the conference dinner will be served at AF, Akademiska Föreningen in the historical city centre.
