The event consists of short lectures followed by a conversation between the lecturers. The event is held in Norwegian.

In connection with Gregor Mendel's 200 year anniversary, there will be an event that includes lectures, a guided tour of the Marine Research Station Drøbak and dinner. The lectures covers Gregor Mendel and his contributions to science, the geneticist Kristine Bonnevie, modern genetics and genomics and more. Registration is necessary. The event is held in Norwegian.

Supported by Tømtestifelsen and the Research Council of Norway.

The aim of the symposium is to help the scientific community better understand the impact of environmental (climate) change on biodiversity, by integrating insights from geological time scales (macroevolution) with our current understanding of short-term, microevolution. Open to anyone interested.
