ESF - WORKSHOP

Diversity, selection and adaptation in wildlife and livestock-molecular approaches

The European Science Foundation ESF financially supports scientific
workshops in the field of integrating population genetics and conservation biology. This year a workshop will be held from 26.11.2008 to 28.11.2008 in Salzburg, one of Austria\'s most attractive towns.

The main goals of the workshop are to stimulate the interaction between
wildlife diversity and animal breeding research as well as to integrate
quantitative and molecular approaches to the estimation of fitness as
conservation value. About 30 experts and young scientists from all over
Europe will be invited for presentations and discussions on this topic.
