Conferences we plan to attend
Our group actively engages with the scientific community through participation in international conferences, where we present our latest research findings, exchange insights, and establish collaborations that drive our research forward. Below is a list of upcoming conferences where members of the Novikova Lab will be presenting their work:
Conferences
Cologne Spring Meeting 2025 on “Plant Ecological Genetics”
18 - 20 March 2025
​
The Cologne Spring Meeting has been organized since the early sixties as an open event with free participation. The scientific focus of the meeting is placed on a different topic each time. The meetings usually attract a large audience of scientists and students from Cologne, the rest of Germany and all over Europe. In 2025 the meeting will be organized by the DFG-funded tranregional collaborative research center TRR341 "Plant Ecological Genetics".
​
The Annual Meeting of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution (SMBE) is a prestigious international conference dedicated to advancing the understanding of molecular evolution and evolutionary biology. This meeting serves as a vibrant platform for researchers at all career stages to share their latest discoveries, discuss cutting-edge methodologies, and explore emerging trends in the field. With its commitment to inclusivity and interdisciplinary collaboration, the SMBE meeting fosters an environment where scientific exchange thrives, promoting both foundational research and innovative approaches to address fundamental questions in evolution.
EMPSEB30 2-6 June 2025 in Milovy, Czechia.
​
The European Meeting for PhD students in Evolutionary Biology (EMPSEB) is an annual conference organised for, and by, doctoral students. It is in many ways a unique meeting, with equal emphasis on providing a platform for students to learn from each other, and on fostering a sense of community.
GMI 25th Anniversary 5 May 2025
The GMI 25th Anniversary conference marks a significant milestone for the Gregor Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant Biology (GMI). Celebrating over two decades of pioneering research, this event will feature a special keynote lecture by Nobel Prize winner Prof. Jennifer Doudna on the transformative potential of CRISPR technology.
International Conference on Arabidopsis Research: ICAR2025 16-20 June 2025 in Gent, Belgium
The International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR) is an annual gathering of up to 1000 scientists whose primary research organism is the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This meeting embraces the remarkable contribution that Arabidopsis has made to our understanding of plant science.
