The Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE) invites proposals for sponsored Research Synthesis Working Groups at the 2026 Evolution meeting (up to two in-person and one virtual). These groups are intended not just as symposia, but as launchpads for novel ideas, new syntheses, and continued collaboration. By bringing together diverse researchers around an emerging or synthetic theme, the working groups will catalyze interaction at the meeting, with the expectation that the collaboration will continue after the meeting concludes. Preference will be given to groups who plan to produce a synthetic review or special feature aimed for either SSE society journal (Evolution Letters or Evolution). Deadline: January 6, 2026 More information: https://www.evolutionsociety.org/content/society-awards-and-prizes/sponsored-symposia.html *Kati Moore*she/her *Communications Manager* *Society for the Study of Evolution* communications@evolutionsociety.org www.evolutionsociety.org SSE Communications (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
