Dear colleagues, We are excited to welcome you to the 2026 NLSEB meeting that will be held on Tuesday April 14th at the Akoesticum in Ede, the Netherlands. We have two very exciting plenary talks by Prof. Dr Marta Szulkin (University of Warsaw), by Dr. Daniel Tamarit Chulia (Utrecht University) and a plenary talk by the winner of the 2026 Netherlands Evolutionary Biology Prize (will be announced during the meeting). The program, as always, includes two parallel presentation sessions, a cultural intermezzo, and plenty of time for poster presentations and socializing with your fellow evolutionary biologists, to strengthen your networking connections and to establish new collaborations. Registration is now open. To join us on April 14th visit our website (https://www.nlseb.nl/nlseb-meeting-2026) and follow the registration link. Via the same registration link you can also submit an abstract (to be considered for a talk or poster presentation). The deadline for registration and abstract submission is February 20.
