To celebrate the diversity of the international membership and strengthen ties with the global community of evolutionary biologists, the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE) is hosting a free virtual series of international symposia in different languages and time zones. These symposia are organized by the SSE Graduate Student Advisory Committee (GSAC) in collaboration with local evolutionary biologists.
Each symposium is geared toward an evolutionary biology community in a particular region of the world and features local early career researchers and senior researchers. Talks are presented during local daytime hours in locally used languages with live captioning and translation. Each symposium is followed by a workshop on how to publish in Evolution taught by associate editors from each region.
Registration is free and open to all. Registrants are not required to be members of SSE. Registrants agree to abide by the Safe Evolution Code of Conduct.
