Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce that registration and call for abstracts for the Biology25 conference are now open! The conference will take place on February 13-14, 2025, at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, with engaging satellite events on February 12. Biology25 is the largest conference dedicated to organismal biology in Switzerland and serves as the annual joint meeting of the Swiss Zoological Society, the Swiss Botanical Society, and the Swiss Systematics Society. It offers a great opportunity for PhD students and early-career researchers to showcase their research. The 2-day in-person meeting will feature dozens of contributed talks and posters of research in the fields of evolutionary biology and ecology, and keynote talks by Inger Greve Alsos (Arctic University of Norway, Norway), Susana Coelho (Max Planck Institute for Biology T�bingen, Germany), Joanito Liberti (University of Geneva, Switzerland), and Andreanna Welch (Durham University, Uniter Kingdom). On February 13th, we will host the traditional Darwin dinner, with a special lecture by Catherine Peichel (University of Bern, Switzerland). The deadline for abstract submission is November 15, 2024. On February 12th, we are organizing four satellite events on the topics: - Selfish genetic elements and within-organism conflicts - SDM-CH: Modeling species distributions in Switzerland for science and applications - Harnessing single-cell omics in evolutionary biology research - PhyloSIB: Workshop on molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and comparative phylogenomics More details can be found on our website: https://biology25.ch For any questions, contact us at biology25@unil.ch Follow us on BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/biology25.bsky.social and X https://x.com/Biology25UNIL and spread the word #Biology25 We hope to see many of you here in Lausanne next year!
