| Schedule |
The school will consist of a series of lectures, workshops, and networking opportunities over a comprehensive five-day program. The schedule begins with the arrival and introduction of participants on the first day, followed by a keynote lecture from a leading scientist. The second and fourth days will feature seven lectures each. The third day will be dedicated to workshops, a special session for student presentations, and a social event to foster networking and collaboration. The final day will include five additional lectures, concluding with participant departures. >>top |
| Registration fees |
Participation in the School is entirely free of charge.
The School is sponsored by
European Society of Evolutionary Biology (ESEB).
We are pleased to offer 30 Travel Grants to support in-person attendance for students and early-career researchers. These grants will cover accommodation, travel expenses within Ukraine, and meals throughout the program. The Travel Grants are awarded on a competitive basis. Each grant covers accommodation in a shared room at the designated hostel, transportation costs by train or bus within Ukraine, and meals throughout the program. Please note that the grants do not extend to accommodation in alternative hotels or any travel expenses incurred outside of Ukraine. >>top |
| Application Procedure |
Who can apply
USEB 2025 primarily targets master’s students, PhD students, and early-career researchers in life sciences, though high-school and bachelor’s students with an interest in evolutionary biology are also encouraged to apply. While prior knowledge of evolutionary biology or population genetics is beneficial, it is not required. Mid-career and senior researchers and teachers are welcome to participate remotely through Zoom.
The primary activities of the School will be conducted in English. While we are unable to provide full translation services for lectures, we can assist with translating questions and facilitating discussions. Applicants with limited or no English proficiency are welcome to attend and may use translation support via Zoom for improved accessibility.
Application Deadline December 31st, 2024 https://forms.gle/etkuZbNKh9LVdCpK6 During the application process, you may select your preferred attendance format—either in person in Uzhhorod or remotely via Zoom. Provide details on your current academic level, scientific interests (including any current or prospective projects), and your motivation for participating in USEB 2025. Additionally, we request that you upload your CV (resume) as part of your application. >>top |
