The Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences of the University of Groningen is proud to organise the 2017 Congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology, 20-25 August 2017 in Groningen, the Netherlands. Groningen is a lively university town in the north of the Netherlands, connected with a direct train to Amsterdam (Schiphol). The venue will be the Conference Centre MartiniPlaza close to the Groningen city center. Due to space constraints, attendance is limited to 1500 participants, on a first-come, first-served basis. A welcome reception will take place on Sunday 20 August. The scientific program, beginning on Monday 21 August, will consist of 8 parallel sessions running throughout the 5 days (except Wednesday afternoon). There will be some 300 oral presentations fitting within 35 symposia selected by our Scientific Committee. We will also have poster sessions associated with the different symposia, five plenary talks, and two lectures by the 2016 and 2017 winners of the John Maynard Smith Prize. ...
