Sciences - Evolution are due by April 9th. The 80 selected students will
have all expenses covered by FAPESP.

SPSAS-evo will be a two-week course, offered August 19-31, 2012, in
Ilhabela, S?o Paulo, Brazil, centered on a range of topics in Evolutionary
Biology taught by a host of world class experts conducting cutting-edge
research in Evolution. The main goals are to generate authoritative
outreach material focused on Evolution and to showcase ongoing research in
S?o Paulo, aiming at attracting the most promising students, post-docs and
young faculty to the state of S?o

Paulo.

There are 80 spots available, the target applicants are graduate students,
but a few spots will be filled by outstanding post-docs and undergraduate
students. People from all nationalities and backgrounds conducting research
in Evolutionary Biology are encouraged to apply. Applications will be
