From 28-29 June 2019, we will hold our annual meeting at the Munich Botanical Gardens with an optional pre-meeting workshop from 26-27 June. Download the full program with abstracts here or see the schedule below.

Pre-meeting Workshop: Wednesday 26 - Thursday 27 June
Before our annual meeting, we will host a workshop from 26 - 27 June, "Hybridization capture, hyRAD, and targeted capture: workflows in wet and dry lab.”
Thursday afternoon/evening: Optional meetings for labs wishing to discuss ongoing or new collaborations. Being linked within the SPP is among the most important aspects of any priority program. Rooms for small meetings are available all afternoon and evening, or simply go to the Augustiner Keller (18:30h – 21:00h)
