Dear collegues, 

It is our pleasure to announce that the 16th DrosEU meeting will be
held on April 13-14, followed by a 3-day D. suzukii satellite meeting
on April 15-17 2026.

The European Drosophila Population Genomics Consortium (DrosEU) is
a collaborative consortium of scientists and laboratories interested
in evolutionary genetics and genomics of Drosophila species. Its main
objective is to cooperate closely in collecting, generating and analysing
genomic and environmental data for several Drosophila populations across
the globe.

For the next meeting, a special focus will be put on the insect pest
Drosophila suzukii: after the general DroEU meeting on April 13- 14
2026, we will organize a 3-day satellite meeting dedicated to D. suzukii
on April 15-17 2026. A wide range of topics will be covered during this
conference, including:
- Population genetics
- Molecular Genetics
- Host-Microbiota Interactions
- Physiology
- Ecology and Population Dynamics
- Integrated Pest Management.

Non DrosEU members are welcome to register to the DrosEU meeting, the
D. suzukii meeting or both events. Registration is open until December
19th 2025 via the registration page. Abstract submission is not required
for registration to either the DrosEU or the D. suzukii meeting.

Online attendance
People can select the option to attend the meeting online when registering
via the registration page. A Zoom link will be sent the week before the
meeting. Please note that abstract submission will only be possible for
in-person attendees.

To make both meetings accessible to the widest audience,registration is
free of charge.

*Registration website is now open:https://droseusuz.sciencesconf.org*
Both meetings will be held at the Genopolys amphitheater in Montpellier,
France.

Please note that only titles (but not abstracts) are required for
contributed talks for the DrosEU meeting. Registration and title
(DrosEU meeting) or abstract (D. suzukii meeting) submission occur in
two separate steps: upon acceptance of your registration, you will be
able to submit a title/abstract via the "Title/abstract submission"
page until December 19th 2025.
