******
PopGroup is an informal meeting which brings together scientists working in population genetics and evolutionary biology, mainly, but by no means exclusively, from the United Kingdom and other European countries. All areas of evolutionary biology are covered. See http://www.lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/CSE/popgroup/programme.pdf for the programme of the previous meeting.
This year there will be three plenary talks, given by Rasmus Nielsen, Steve Oliver, and Sara Via. There will be three parallel sessions at other times and a poster session. Talks will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. The conference will start on the evening of Tuesday December 14th, with the first talk at 9am on the Wednesday, and run through to lunchtime on Friday December 17th.
Reading lies a half-hour train journey on the line between London and Oxford. It is also about an hour's coach journey from Heathrow Airport. All the conference facilities are on campus and within easy walking distance of each other. Reading is easily accessible by rail, road and air (see travel information and maps).
