While the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic kept us from organizing workshops in January this year, we have instead planned both the Workshop on Genomics and the Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics for May and June. As is usual when the workshops take place in January, the Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics will follow right after the Workshop on Genomics, allowing particularly knowledge-hungry participants to stay in Cesky Krumlov for a total of four weeks of intense training. And those who like to conclude with a history festival may even stay for the town’s Five-Petalled Rose Celebrations from 17 to 19 June.
