The 2018 Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics is held in Český Krumlov from 21 January – 3 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
Michael Matschiner, University of Basel
Jan Stefka, Faculty of Science, Univ. S. Bohemia, České Budějovice
Scott Handley, Washington University
Emiliano Trucchi, University of Ferrara
Julia M.I. Barth, University of Oslo
Britta S. Meyer, Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel – GEOMAR
Milan Malinsky, University of Basel
