Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that registration is open for the fifth edition of the Software and Statistical Methods for Population Genomics(SSMPG) summer school, to be held in Aussois, France, September 8 - 12, 2025. Max 50 participants. For this fifth edition, we will once again provide a comprehensive overview of software and statistical methods for detecting genes involved in local adaptation and predicting population risk of maladaptation to climate change. As in previous editions, the program will feature keynote lectures, tutorials, and a data challenge, where participants will collaborate in teams to analyze simulated or real datasets. Attendees will also have the opportunity to present their own research during poster sessions. The summer school will be held in the scenic village of Aussois, within the Vanoise National Park (French Alps), fostering interaction between mentors and participants and encouraging synergies among young researchers. This year's instructors include: Brenna Forester (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, USA) Christian Rellstab (Swiss Federal Research Institute, Switzerland) Orly Razgour (University of Exeter, UK) Simon Boitard (INRAE, Montpellier, France) Juliette Archambeau (INRAE, Université de Bordeaux, France) Philippe Cubry (IRD, Université de Montpellier, France) Mathieu Gautier (INRAE, Montpellier, France) Olivier François (Université Grenoble Alpes, France) Thibaut Capblancq (Université Grenoble Alpes, France) For more details on the program and registration, please visit the school website:https://ssmpg2025.sciencesconf.org/ We hope to see you there!
