We have an exciting line-up of speakers (with a keynote lecture by Mike Levine) that will cover the following topics:

 

- Principles of genomic adaptation

- Evolutionary impact of regulatory variation

- From linear to spatial – The 3D genome

- Transposable elements as drivers of evolution

- Evolution at single-cell resolution

 

Furthermore, the workshop will take place in the beautiful city of Granada, in the south of Spain. This city is particularly known to hold one of the most beautiful examples of Moorish architecture, The Alhambra, a 13th century citadel declared as World Heritage site by the UNESCO.

 

There are travel and childcare grants available as well as ample opportunities for young researchers to present their work (oral communications and poster sessions).
