It is our pleasure to share the news of our upcoming conference in Linköping, Sweden on the 13th-15th January 2025. Evolution in Sweden is a biannual meeting, which broadly gathers evolutionary biologists working in Sweden. The meeting is aimed to be a broad meeting on every aspect of evolutionary biology both in animals and plants. However, please note that the meeting is primarily (though not exclusively) for scientists active in Swedish academic departments. The Evolution in Sweden conference is organized together with the DDLS Evolution and Biodiversity research area, within the Data-driven Life Science (DDLS) program, part of a 12-year SEK 3.1 billion initiative from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. We encourage researchers working with analysis of large data sets in the fields of evolution and biodiversity to attend. Abstract submission: You are welcome to submit your abstract either for a poster or an oral presentation (12 minutes + 3 minutes of questions). The deadline is noon on October 28.
