Dates: 30 September- 1 October, 2025
Location: Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Rue Vautier 29, Brussels, Belgium
The meeting is focused on use of DNA methods and genomic science to support biomonitoring, conservation and utilisation of biodiversity – with a special emphasis on what is needed to facilitate mainstreaming and operationalisation of genomic methods for biodiversity across Europe. The meeting will consist of presentations on the state-of-the-art, and the practicalities of deployment, and then lead to discussion sessions aimed at prioritizing actions to guide future progress. Throughout the symposium, we aim to facilitate discussion between researchers, practitioners, policy leads, business, and civil society actors and the meeting also includes a networking reception.
