*SMBE Call for 2028 Regional Meeting *

*Proposals from Europe*

*Deadline for submissions: May 15, 2026*

Dear SMBE Members,

Starting in 2027, the SMBE Annual Meeting will alternate between the 
Global Meeting (on odd years) and the SMBE Extended Regional meetings 
(on even years). The first extended regional meetings are scheduled to 
take place in 2028.

The SMBE will financially support up to five meetings, ideally one per 
major region of the world (North America, Central/South America, Europe, 
Africa, Asia/Oceania). This format will reduce the environmental impact 
of its meetings while simultaneously increasing accessibility by 
lowering travel costs for its members worldwide.

SMBE is now calling for proposals for meetings and actions to be held 
between *January 1, 2028, and December 31, 2028 specifically in 
Europe.*�Funds will be awarded on a competitive basis to members of the 
molecular evolution research community to host meetings that provide 
opportunities for participation to members with a wide range of 
interests, as covered by our society. The meetings could also include 
focused symposia to be determined by the organizers. The number of 
awards will depend on the quality of the proposals, the total cost, and 
the available budget.
