Conference "Empiricism & Theory in Ecology and Evolution" at Paris Saclay
The conference "ETEE2023" will take place at the university of Paris Saclay from Monday November 13th to Wednesday November 15th.
This is a joint event, gathering the community of the GDR AIEM ("Approches Interdisciplinaires de l'Évolution Moléculaire") and the Paris-Saclay Interdisciplinary Object C-BASC ("Biodiversité, Agroécologie, Société et Climat"), on the very new campus of Paris-Saclay.
ETEE 2023 promises to be a small-scale gathering, with around 100 attendees, creating the perfect environment for meaningful discussions and collaboration opportunities. It is the annual conference of the GDR "Interdisciplinary Approach to Molecular Evolution" (AIEM), which brings together the community in population genetics, modeling, molecular evolution to address a range of fundamental questions in evolutionary biology, and to stimulate discussions on philosophical and historical perspectives within this field. This year, the conference is co-financed by the Interdisciplinary Center for Biodiversity, Agroecology, Society and Climate Studies (C-BASC), and we aim to delve into the intriguing realms of Agroecology and Society as well. The primary objective of this meetings is to foster informal exchanges in these highly interdisciplinary fields and encourage young scientists to present their research work.
This year, in addition to the traditional molecular evolution issues, three interdisciplinary special topics will be highlighted:
Adaptation and invasive species
Agroecology
Biodiversity
