The AsiaEvo Conference is a platform that brings together researchers from all fields concerned with evolution, including genomics, developmental biology, paleontology, phylogenetics, ecology, biogeography, evo-devo, and others from Asia and the rest of the world. The conference aims to stimulate evolutionary research in Asian area, to reinforce cross-disciplinary collaboration among countries, and to promote young researchers.
The 1st AsiaEvo Conference will be held from April 18-20, 2018, in National GeneBank, Shenzhen, China.
