Revision of SOL International - the first virtual meeting of the SOL genomics community from Fri, 2020-09-18 09:26

We are all disappointed not to be meeting together in person in Greece this year for SOL2020, but fear not, the community is still planning to meet from 9 to 11 November. Under the leadership of Dr Christian Bachem, Chair of the SOL CoChair Group, a virtual conference is in the works. 

Planned sessions will focus on:

  • Biotechnology
  • Breeding (technologies and traits)
  • Development
  • Diversity and Evolution
  • Networks (incl. genomics)
  • Stress (biotic and abiotic)

There will be six sessions, held in sequence, two per day over three days. Sessions will start at 1400 CET and run until 1800 CET, with a break between the two daily sessions.

Talks will be chosen from submitted abstracts, we particularly welcome abstracts from those who have been unable to previously attend SOL meetings due to cost or distance. Instructions for abstract submission, and more details about the meeting can be found here.
