Our objective is to provide training in the fields of genomics, population genetics and phylogenomics.
The 2026 Workshop on Genomics comes to an end! It has been two intense and inspiring weeks of Genomics in ΔeskΓ½ Krumlov. We hope everyone is going back home with a renewed excitement for science and new friends and collaborations around the world! ππ»ββοΈπ§¬ #evomics2026
