Mathematical and Computational Evolutionary Biology (MCEB)
Heraklion (Crete, Greece), 4-8 May, 2026

https://mceb2026.sciencesconf.org

For its 2026 installment, MCEB will take place in Heraklion, Crete. This
edition of the meeting will put an emphasis on computational methods in
evolutionary genomics.

It will focus on recent algorithmic and statistical advances in
comparative analysis of genomic data, but also present significant
biological results obtained with these new techniques.

Beyond this year's themes, general concepts, models, methods and
algorithms will be presented and discussed, just as in the previous
editions of MCEB.

As usual, the meeting will bring together researchers from various
disciplines: mathematics, statistics, computer science, phylogenetics,
population genetics, molecular epidemiology, biodiversity and
macroevolution...

Our keynote speakers will introduce a field of research and discuss
their own work in this field.

The afternoons will be available for short presentations and posters,
with plenty of time for discussions.

We will be stopping early every day, thus leaving time for other
activities.
