We
are pleased to announce that a preliminary program is now available for
SPECIATION 2017, a Gordon Research Conference (GRC) dedicated
exclusively to speciation research:
The
conference --- the world's largest of its kind --- will be held at the
Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa in Italy during the week
of February 19-24, 2017. The conference will be directly preceded by a
two-day Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), co-chaired by Amanda Hund and
Laurel Symes, that offers opportunities for graduate students and
early-career scientists to get involved at the forefronts of modern
speciation research.
The
GRC conferences on speciation raise to a trans-Atlantic level a
tradition of international conferences on speciation research that was
initiated by the European Research Networking Programme 'Frontiers of
Speciation Research'. The three conferences held thus far, in 2010,
2013, and 2015, have helped facilitate bridge-building between disparate
approaches to speciation research and have attracted hundreds of
participants from all facets of speciation research.
Registration for SPECIATION 2017 is open at https://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=16903 and will continue until the venue's capacity is filled.
With many thanks and best wishes,
Åke Brännström & Rebecca Safran
