Taxacom: YSF - Young Systematists' Forum, 11th November, Online

[Ellinor Michel]

24th YOUNG SYSTEMATISTS’ FORUM

Friday 11th November 2022, 9:30 am GMT

ZOOM Online



The annual Young Systematists’ Forum represents an exciting setting for Master’s students, PhD students and young postdoctoral researchers to present their work, often for the first time, to a scientific audience interested in taxonomy and systematics. 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.



Prizes will be awarded for the most promising talk and flash presentation as judged by a small panel on the day.



Registration is FREE.

When you register you will be asked to supply your name, contact information and tell us whether you wish to give a full talk or flash presentation. Please also tell us your academic stage – e.g., Masters, PhD or postdoc and affiliation. Abstract submission and registration are separate portals, both on the YSF event page.



Spaces will be allocated subject to availability and for a balanced programme of animal, plant, algal, microbial, molecular and other research. Non-presenting attendees are also very welcome - please register as above.



Abstracts must be submitted by e-mail in English and in Word format no later than Friday 14 October 2022. The body text should not exceed 150 words in length. Title, authors, and their professional affiliations/addresses should be included with the abstracts. If the presentation is co-authored, the actual speaker must be clearly indicated in BOLD text. The file should be in editable format (.doc or .odt, not pdf) and titled Surname_First-name_YSF2022.doc, for example Doe_Jane_YSF2022.doc.



If you have presented a talk at the YSF before, we ask that you submit only for a flash presentation, as speaker slots are limited and we want to give as many people a chance as possible. If you are a more senior postdoc, please be aware that it's unlikely we will be able to give you a chance to present here, as the aim is to give more junior researchers their first experience in a supportive international setting.



All registered attendants will receive further information about the meeting, including abstracts, by e-mail one week in advance. This information will also be displayed on the Systematics Association website (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.systass.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Cf8067e705880432ad60408da9b318f05%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C637992935208381679%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Ygu46PtpA%2F4pBbqEVNUxyj3XJavzulhggFYU8NTlMdw%3D&reserved=0<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.nhm.ac.uk%2Fowa%2Fredir.aspx%3FC%3Dv8W-CprbsJZ2iCro6FzU_wa_ZD33yEAAdgWoFfFqHWwBn_oLRMvTCA..%26URL%3Dhttp%2525253a%2525252f%2525252fwww.systass.org%2525252f&data=05%7C01%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Cf8067e705880432ad60408da9b318f05%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C637992935208381679%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=RGs6T9aCq2%2FJtJMV14eKJOsyciHW5G9XhDg6d7Vaf%2BM%3D&reserved=0>).
