MINISYMPOSIUM IN POPULATION GENETICS
The graduate school of population genetics organises a minisymposium at the
end of April in Hailuoto.
Time: Thursday and Friday, April 21-22, 2005
Arrival: It is recommended to arrive Wednesday evening or very early
Thursday morning to allow an early start on Thursday. It would be good to
start on Thursday at 9.30 (allows arrival with the 8.30 ferry from Oulunsalo).
Place: Bothnian Bay Research Station (Perämeren tutkimusasema) at Hailuoto
outside Oulu
Topic: Population genetics in general
Aims: To allow research groups working with population genetics
(researchers, postdocs and particularly PhD students) to meet and present
their work. We also discuss the future plans of the graduate school (topics
of the courses in 2005-6 and the new application for PhD positions for
2007-2010)
Program:
- The students and postdocs are encouraged to give short (about 20
min) congress presentations. Particularly students that have received
financial support from the graduate school are asked to present their work.
- There can also be longer presentations from each group ('plenary
talks') and these can be given by senior group members.
- We arrange a place for poster presentations
- In addition to the talks, we have discussions about the future
directions of the graduate school.
Expenses: The graduate school covers the expenses from travel and
accomodation.
Registration:
- to Pekka.Pamilo(a)oulu.fi (use this address also to ask any further
information)
- it would be good to have registrations by March 31 (hopefully
already earlier), including the topic of the presentation and the desired
time (20 min or longer)
- the final scheme can be made after I know the number of participants
and talks
