ESEB conference, Turin Italy 24-29 August 2009

The 12th Congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology will be held in Torino, Italy, August 24 - 29, 2009.

The structure of the congress is similar to previous meetings, each day starting with a plenary keynote speaker, followed by parallel symposia. We have accepted 31 symposia. Other events will be the traditional John Maynard Smith lecture and the presidential address by the new president of ESEB, prof. Siv Andersson, Uppsala University.

The congress will cover the field of evolutionary biology in a wide sense, but with emphasis on processes and mechanisms of evolutionary phenomena.
