Fachgruppe Entwicklungsbiologie
DZG-Jahrestagung/Symposien
The 115th DZG Meeting will take place in Kassel, September 4-8, 2023
We will organize the Developmental Biology Session during the main meeting. Invited speaker this year:
Alexander Klimovich, University of Kiel (GER)
Please register for the main meeting and submit your work for short talks and posters!
In addition to the main meeting, we teamed up with the sections „Evolutionary Biology“ and „Ecology“ to organize the Satellite Meeting:
„SpiderFest – #Genomes #Genes #Forms #Functions“
September 4, 2023 in Kassel. Invited speakers are:
Gabriele Uhl, University of Greifswald (GER)
Jonas Wolff, University of Greifswald (GER)
Daniela Rößler, University of Konstanz (GER)
Daniel Leite, Durham University (UK)
You can register for the SpiderFest through the main DZG Meeting website.
Check the conference website and/or sign up for our mailing list to stay tuned.
