Dear everyone, We are pleased to announce the first International Conference on Palaeogenomics, which will take place in Stockholm (Sweden) June 23-26, 2026! The abstract submission portal is now open: icp2026.palaeogenomics.org/abstracts/ The topics will encompass all aspects of palaeogenomics research, including ancient DNA studies of humans, wildlife, domestic species, sediments and microbiomes, as well as museomics, methods development, ancient RNA and palaeoproteomics. We welcome abstracts from researchers at all career stages, from students to senior researchers. Overall, we hope to offer >100 speaker slots during the conference, as well as a comprehensive poster session. The deadline for abstract submission is November 30th and we will communicate the outcome of the abstract selection process well before the early bird registration deadline. We also invite interested parties to propose user-driven workshops on the day before the conference (i.e. Monday June 22nd), for example focusing on a particular question, taxon, or method. Please see the conference webpage for more information and contact details. With kind regards, The ICP2026 Organizing Committee Erik Ersmark Love Dalen David Diez del Molino Anders Gotherstrom Peter D.
