Caro collega,
siamo ormai prossimi all’inizio del 7° Congresso SIBE e in questo messaggio troverai allegato il Programma definitivo e il volume degli Abstract.
Ti chiediamo per favore di porre attenzione alla seguente raccomandazione:
Fai in modo di avere la tua presentazione (in formato .ppt, pptx, o pdf) pronta prima dell’inizio del congresso. In ogni caso ricorda che dovrai consegnare la tua presentazione al personale STAFF della SALA COMPUTER, che provvederà all’upload sul PC (con sistema Windows) dell’AULA CONGRESSO.
Dovrai consegnare la tua presentazione entro le ore 16:00 del giorno PRECEDENTE quello della tua presentazione.
Se la tua presentazione è programmata per il primo giorno (28 Agosto), potrai consegnarla entro le ore 14:00 di quel giorno.
La tua puntualità e precisione permetterà di far svolgere i simposi nei giusti tempi. Sappi che i Chairs dei simposi saranno rigidi nel far rispettare i tempi che, ti ricordiamo sono di 10 minuti per la tua presentazione più 5 per le domande.
Se hai necessità di un computer, sappi che nella SALA COMPUTER sono a disposizione alcuni PC con sistema Windows con accesso a Internet.
WI-FI FREE
Se hai con te il tuo laptop o comunque vuoi consultare internet attraverso il tuo cellulare, potrai farlo servendoti del collegamento WI-FI predisposto per questo congresso. Eccoti le credenziali:

THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT, May 12nd 2017
Dear All,
DEADLINE
We noticed that registration and submission rates abruptly increased in these last few days, when getting close to the deadline. In order to let those of you who might still need a few more days to complete their registration and submission, we extended the deadline for Abstracts’ submission and early-bird registration to June 1st 2017. Once again, please check important dates at http://sibe2017.uniroma2.it/important-dates/.
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
We kindly request that all submitters upload their Abstracts on the SIBE 2017 Easychair Website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sibe2017). In fact, not all of you did it. Please do it.
LANGUAGE
We remind you that English is the preferred language for both oral communications and posters. We strongly recommend to present your work in English. However, we will also accept oral communications and posters in Italian.
PROGRAMME
In a just few days we will upload a tentative programme, which will be defined once Abstracts’ submission is complete.
AWARDS
Candidates for awards MUST declare their intention to participate to selection and indicate what prize they are applying for. Please revise rules and procedures downloadable from Congress’ website.
SUPPORT TO RECENT GRADUATES
We remind you that the Organising Committee will provide 5 (five) free registrations for recent graduates of master’s degree, upon selection. Applicants will be selected based on their master’s theses, which must be explicitly focused on evolutionary biology. Theses must be submitted by July 15th 2017 as pdf file to the following address: info@sibe2017.uniroma2.it. We remind you that not-selected applicants who have submitted their theses will anyway be granted with the “student early-bird” registration fee.
SIBE CRASH COURSE IN PHYLOGENETICS

SIBE CRASH COURSE IN PHYLOGENETICS
The Italian Society for Evolutionary Biology (SIBE-ISEB) is offering a crash course in Molecular Phylogenetics to be held in Rome August 28th 2017.
The course is aimed at students and young researchers interested in taking their first steps into the fabulous world of Phylogenetics, or to those who want to refresh it. The course is free, but only for members of the SIBE who will attend the Evoluzione 2017 SIBE’s congress in Rome. Registration is on a first come first served basis; participants should send a short motivation letter, and proof of registration to the meeting to omar.rota@fmach.it before August 1; acceptance will be notified shortly after.
The course consists of 4 sessions of an hour each. Lectures (40 minutes) will cover the basic principles of molecular phylogeny and will be followed by a short tutorial (20 minutes) where the students will analyse a data set provided by teachers (or a small one brought by them). Participants need to bring their own laptop with 3 programs previously installed: MEGA7 http://www.megasoftware.net/, the BEASTv1.8 package http://beast.bio.ed.ac.uk/downloads and TRACER http: // beast. bio.ed.ac.uk/tracer. Teachers are Omar Rota-Stabelli (Mach Foundation, Trento) and Andrea Luchetti (Bologna University). The course is in English.
Please, we strongly recommend you to frequently visit our website. New information will be regularly uploaded. Fields with new info available will be marked by the flag: NEW.
We look forward to seeing you in Rome this coming August.
