Dear all,

We are very happy to announce the IGC Symposium 2018: Microbial
Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics. This symposium will take place from 22nd to
24th of October 2018 at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia, Oeiras,
Portugal.

More information is available at: https://microbial.eco-evo.science

Flyer at: https://goo.gl/moVptx

The focus of the symposium will be on the interplay between ecology and
evolution in order to understand how ecology shapes the adaptive
process and diversity of microbial populations and how adaptation and
diversification feedback into ecology. This meeting aims to be a venue
for researchers at different career levels (Ph.D. students, post-docs,
and well-established researchers) to discuss current concepts and build
a diverse community in Ecology and Evolution.

We are pleased to announce that the keynote speakers are:
Paul Rainey (MPI Plon, U. Massey)
Sara Mitri (U. Lausanne)
Nicole Mideo (U. Toronto)
Andrew Hendry (U. McGill)
Isabel Gordo (IGC)
Sinead Collins (U. Edinburgh)
Sarah Cobey (U. Chicago)
Luis Miguel Chevin (CEFE Montpellier)
Tim Barraclough (Imperial College London)

Abstract submission is now open. All participants are encouraged to
present either via poster or oral presentation.

Important dates for the symposium:
Abstract submission deadline: 15th of June 2018
Early bird registrations: 15th of July 2018
Regular registrations: 1st August 2018
Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia is a multidisciplinary biomedical
research institute. IGC  is a 10-minute walk from the beach and 20
minutes away from Lisbon, Cascais, and Sintra historic city centers (by
train/car). Lisbon, in particular, is a beautiful hilly city, full of
history and with a diverse cultural and gastronomic heritage.

Kind regards,
The Organizing Committee
