As SPP 1991: TaxonOMICS draws to a close after six fruitful years, the Steering Committee wanted to fulfill its final promise — to ensure that the knowledge gained during the programme will continue to be used to its full potential long after the programme has ended. Thus, the idea of the TaxonOMICS Summer School was born…

8. Nov. 2023 - PhD Position in Systematic Botany and Biogeography - Apply by 15 Dec

 We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a MSc degree, fluency in English, an interest in biogeography and a relevant background in plant systematics and evolution. Experience with molecular phylogenetic and/or evolutionary analyses (e.g. ancestral trait or biogeographic reconstructions) is essential. Previous experience with field work, lab work, morphology analysis methods or chemical/metabolomic analyses, or advanced bioinformatic skills will also be viewed favourably.

[ARCHIVE] 23. Jun 2021 - Taxon-Omics DMP Workshop

The workshop will deliver a general introduction to Research Data Management (RDM) in the biological sciences with particular focus on Data Management Plans (DMPs). Specifically, we will cover the essentials of a good DMP, its intended use and content, including the handling (e.g., archival and publication) of different data types. The workshop will include a demonstration of the GFBio Tool for DMP preparation (www.gfbio.org/dmpt) and an introduction to the GFBio service for DMP support. The participants will have the chance to start writing their own DMP and pose questions to GFBio and NFDI data management experts.

[ARCHIVE] 28.-29. Nov 2019 - Applied Machine Learning in Taxonomy

The workshop aims to provide a hands-on introduction into important Machine Learning (ML) techniques with the opportunity to discuss their applicability in the context of participants’ data. Biologists with interest in data analysis and little or no prior knowledge of machine learning are encouraged to attend. Basic programming skills (e.g. in Python or R) will be helpful, but are not required.

[ARCHIVE] 22.-24. Nov 2019 - 61st Phylogenetic Symposium focused on Reticulate Evolution

Ever since Darwin’s theory of evolution suggested a common ancestry of all life on earth phylogenetic trees have been used to visualize its relationships. However, evolutionary histories cannot always be adequately represented as bifurcating phylogenetic trees. The 61st Phylogenetic Symposium will focus on Reticulate Evolution and will take place at the Department of Animal Evolution and Biodiversity of the University of Göttingen. Join us as we bring together experts in the field to explore this exciting topic. Registration for the conference is free, but we ask for a 10 € donation to contribute toward the coffee breaks.
