We are excited to invite you to the Genomics for Biodiversity Conference
organised by the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) and Biodiversity
Genomics Europe (BGE), which will be held on October 29 - 31 and
transmitted live through the ERGA YouTube channel.  Participation is
free of charge. The conference aims to bring together researchers and
other stakeholders interested in applied biodiversity genomics and
will showcase how it can have an impact on real-world issues, focusing
primarily on biodiversity conservation and bioeconomy.

Dates: 29 - 31 October 2025

Online and free of charge!

Registration and preliminary programme: 
https://www.erga-biodiversity.eu/post/genomics-for-biodiversity-conference-from-genomes-to-impact

Keynote speakers:

Christina Hvilsom, Coalition for Conservation Genetics

Alessio Iannucci, University of Florence

Pier Luigi Buttigieg, Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz centre for
polar and marine research

Alexandra Anh-Thu Weber, Eawag, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic
Science and Technology

The programme also includes 29 presentations showcasing the
applied use of biodiversity genomics across Europe and a diverse
set of eukaryotic.  For more information, head to the ERGA website:
