International Congress of Systematic and Evolutionary Biology (ICSEB VII)
Join us for modern panoramas in systematic and evolutionary biology!
Celebrating 150 years since publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, plus observing 150 years since the passing of Alexander von Humboldt, the Father of ecological biogeography.
The International Congress of Systematic and Evolutionary Biology (ICSEB) is convened approximately every six years, the last one having being held in Patras, Greece, in 2002. The scope of these congresses is to bring plant, animal, and microbial systematists and evolutionary biologists together to discuss and debate topics of general interest. The focus of this congress, in context of significant historical backdrop, is on modern and forward-looking ideas, concepts, and methods in systematic and evolutionary biology. Due to its location, a strong emphasis will also be placed on understanding biodiversity in Latin America.
Confirmed plenary speakers and tentative titles include:

21-26 August 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland
7th Conference of the European Ornithologists' Union 2009
The European Ornithologists' Union has been founded as an equal partnership among avian biologists across Europe to provide an international forum for the advancement of European ornithology in all its aspects. The bi-annual conferences provide ideal platforms to get in contact, exchange ideas and disseminate knowledge. The council of the EOU and the local organisers invite you cordially to join the 7th EOU conference to be held at the University of Zurich from 21-26 August 2009!
The conference aims at bringing together the full range of researchers in ecology, behaviour, evolution, physiology, morphology, systematics and conservation biology of birds to exchange ideas and to think about future research projects. Studies on birds still have a lot to offer both in basic and applied research. The challenges are there and together we can solve them!
Information on the conference location, accommodation, deadlines, registration fees, etc. are available at http://www.eou2009.ch/. You may also wish to contact the local organising committee at info@eou2009.ch.
Information on the Scientific Programme Committee, the general scientific programme, plenary talks and the submission of symposia and papers are provided at http://www.ucc.ie/en/eou2009/. Inquiries about the scientific programme should be addressed to EOU2009Programme@ucc.ie.
We hope that you will contribute to and find interesting topics in the scientific programme. We are looking forward to meeting you in beautiful Zurich.
