9th Young Systematists' Forum

Wednesday, 5th December 2007, 10 am
Venue: Flett Lecture Theatre, Natural History Museum, London, UK

The annual Young Systematists' Forum represents an exciting setting   for postgraduate students and young postdoctoral researchers to   present their data, often for the first time, to a scientific   audience interested in taxonomy, systematics and phylogenetic   inference.  This well-established event provides an important   opportunity for budding systematists to discuss their research in   front of their peers within a supportive environment.  Supervisors   and other established systematists are also encouraged to attend.

Prizes will be awarded for the most promising oral and poster   presentation as judged by a small panel on the day.

Registration is FREE.  Please let us know is you wish to attend.    Send applications by e-mail to Peter Olson (P.Olson@nhm.ac.uk ),    supplying your name, contact address and stating whether or not you   wish to give an oral or poster presentation.  Space will be allocated   subject to availability and for a balanced programme of animal,   plant, algal, molecular and other research.

Abstracts must be submitted by e-mail in English no later than 16th   November 2007.  The body text should not exceed 150 words in length.    If the presentation is co-authored, the actual speaker (oral) or   presenter (poster) must be clearly indicated in BOLD text.

All registered attendants will receive by e-mail further information   about the meeting, including abstracts, one week in advance.  This   information will also be displayed on the Systematics Association  website (www.systass.org/events/ ).
