Young Systematists’ Forum

Systematics Association

The Annual Young Systematists' Forum is organised by the Systematics Association.
This year it will be held in virtual form.

<p>The annual Young Systematists’ Forum represents an exciting setting for Masters, PhD and young postdoctoral researchers to present their data, often for the first time, to a scientific audience interested in taxonomy, systematics,  phylogenetics and evolution. 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.</p><h3>Follow updates on <a href="https://twitter.com/SystAssn" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a>   #YSF2020</h3>

<p>This year the Young Systematists’ Forum will take place over two days (a UK afternoon session on Monday 23rd and a UK morning session on Tuesday 24th November 2020). We hope that by spreading the event out this way, we will be able to bring together as many people from across the world as possible. </p><p>We welcome the attendance of non-presenting researchers and students at all academic levels, however we will only accept early-career researchers to present their work (i.e. students and postdoctoral researchers). Space for presenters will be allocated subject to availability and aiming for a balanced programme of talks.All registered attendees will receive further information about the meeting, including abstracts, by e-mail one week in advance. This information will also be displayed on the <a href="https://systass.org/meetings/future-events/ysf/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Systematics Association website</a>.</p>
