Pre-symposium workshop
A two-day pre-symposium workshop on “Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, powerful tools to explore the ecological dimension of biological invasions” will be held on Monday 24 and Tuesday 25 June 2024.
Rather than focus on the mechanics of bioinformatics, this workshop will focus on how to analyze next-generation sequencing data for answering questions in ecology, especially in the context of community assembly and biological invasions.
Applications to join the workshop are now open, along with further details.
The workshop is open to individuals not attending the symposium and there will be no charge to attend. However, attendees will need to fund their own travel, food, and accommodation. Places are limited, and interested attendees should complete a short application form.
Travel grants
We have a limited number of travel grants available. To apply for a travel grant, you must also submit an abstract for consideration. Preference will be given to individuals in the early stages of their career and researchers from any stage in their career based in a country classified as a low- or middle-income country by the World Bank. See the FAQs for some common questions about travel grants.
Travel grant applications closed on 1 March.
Decisions will be communicated in early April 2024.
