Landscape genetics is an integrative field of research, aiming at understanding microevolutionary processes across natural populations. It is developing in a rapid way due to advances in genomics technologies, environmental data acquisition and statistical methods to associate them.

During this two-days meeting at the University of Neuchâtel, we would like to further explore the contributions of landscape genetics to the assessment of the interactions between environment and adaptive genetic variation in natural populations. Invited speakers and contributed talks will offer an overview of current trends in the field and perspectives on how it will grow and develop in the future.

This meeting is intended as an opportunity to foster exchange between researchers having complementary expertise and to bring this exiting field on step further.

Target audience: PhD students (CUSO and non-CUSO), postdocs and group leaders

Registration desk: 8.30 - 9.00
