The DrosEU/ ESEB STN Summer School on Adaptation Genomics, took place on 23-24 August 2018 at the CNRS campus in Montpellier, right after the Evolution 2018 meeting (https://evolutionmontpellier2018.org/). By bringing together empiricists and theoreticians working on different model systems and using different approaches, this meeting promoted fruitful discussions and allowed identifying new avenues for the study of the adaptation in natural populations. The school was organized by the European Drosophila Population Genomics Consortium (DrosEU; https://droseu.net/) and sponsored by the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB) and the Mediterranean Center for the Environment and for Biodiversity (CEMEB).
Thanks! to all the speakers and attendees! It was great to see you in Montpellier.
