The 2020 Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics is held in Český Krumlov from 19 January – 1 February. It brings together an international collection of faculty members and Workshop participants to study and discuss current ideas and techniques for the analysis of genomic data on the level of populations and closely related species. The Workshop consists of a series of lectures, demonstrations and computer laboratories that cover theory and practice of population and speciation genomics analyses.
The Workshop registration fee is $1,800. This amount does not cover travel, lodging or boarding. Many important details about the Workshop series can be read on our FAQ page.
The Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics is organized and co-directed by:
Walter Salzburger, University of Basel, Switzerland
Michael Matschiner, University of Zurich, Switzerland
Jan Stefka, University of South Bohemia České Budějovice, Czech Republic
Scott Handley, Washington University, US
Emiliano Trucchi, Universita Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy
Julia M.I. Barth, University of Basel, Switzerland
Britta S. Meyer, Max Planck Insitute for Evoultionary Biology, Plön, Germany
Milan Malinsky, University of Basel, Switzerland
- We hope you had a good trip back and that you enjoyed your time in Cesky Krumlov and at our workshop!
