Dear all, It is our great pleasure to invite you to the Oslo Sparrow Meeting 2026! The meeting will be held on the 6th-8th May at the Department of Biosciences at the University of Oslo Norway. Information on the meeting is here and you can register online for using this online form. Please note that the deadline for registering is 11pm CET on 22nd February. The meeting is free to attend but requires registration. Our confirmed invited speakers are: - Dr Susan Johnston (University of Edinburgh, UK) - Professor David Westneat (University of Kentucky, USA) - Professor Yanhua Qu (Beijing Academy of Sciences, China) - Professor Henrik Jensen (NTNU, Norway) - Associate Professor Julia Schroeder (Imperial College, London UK) - Professor Simon Griffith (MacQuarie University, Australia) - Professor Glenn-Peter S�tre (UiO, Norway) We have places for 50 people and we encourage registration from anyone working on Passer sparrows in any capacity - be it genomics, physiology, behaviour or whatever your field might be. We are currently operating on a first come first serve basis but if we have many more applications, we may select attendees. If this does happen, selection will be balanced to ensure representation across career stages, genders and research areas. We hope you can join us in Oslo - please feel free to circulate this email to colleagues you think might be interested in joining too - we are keen for attendees from all career stages!
