The next Gordon Conference on Quantitative Genetics and Genomics, with the theme 'The Interactive Effects of Genetics, Environment and Ontogeny on Quantitative Traits' will be held at Lucca, Italy on 16th-21st Feb 2025. The final programme can be found here https://www.grc.org/quantitative-genetics-and-genomics-conference/2025/. The GRC is a small conference with mainly invited speakers describing cutting-edge research across the fields of human biology and medicine, plant and animal improvement in agriculture and evolutionary biology. The meeting is held entirely in plenary and there is lots of time set aside for discussion. Application to attend is via the above website and is due by January 19th, 2025. We encourage all attendees to offer posters - some participants will be asked to give short talks based on their poster abstracts. The conference will be preceded by the Gordon Research Seminar on 15th-16th Feb at the same venue, which is specifically for early career scientists, especially PhD students. We will be hosting several senior scientists from academia, industry, and academic publishing for a panel discussion on careers in quantitative genetics who will also serve as mentors throughout the GRS and GRC. Because the GRS and GRC are intentionally small and focus on interactions between participants, they are ideal places to meet with scientists at a range of career stages and are a great opportunity for PhD students to broaden their network. The GRS plan so far can be found here: https://www.grc.org/quantitative-genetics-and-genomics-grs-conference/2025/. Application to attend the GRS is via the above website. All GRS participants are required to provide a poster abstract on the application and may be selected to give a talk based on their abstract. There are still many slots available for talks and applications are due by November 10 to be considered for a talk. Applications for those only interested in bringing posters are due by January 18th, 2025.
