In the light of continued unpredictability in international travel, we have decided to again move the planned in-person meeting to October 2022 as the 6th Uppsala Transposon Symposium – integrating transposon and virus identification into evolution and disease research. The topic + speaker line-up will be as initially planned, registration will be free as usual, and the meeting will be livestreamed.
This year’s fully virtual meeting with be refocused as the 5th Uppsala Transposon Symposium – interactions and evolution at the transposable element and host interface will be a fully virtual free symposium and will take place on October 07-08, 2021 from 15:00-19:00 CEST on each of these days.
Free registration and abstract submission for regular talks/lightning talks/posters will open in early August. Early-career researchers are especially encouraged to submit abstracts!

The previous and upcoming months have been and will be quite unpredictable. We have good news though: The 4th Uppsala Transposon Symposium will take place as planned on September 30 – October 02.
Note that we will provide a livestream of the meeting for registered users who can’t make it to the meeting in person, and are prepared to organize the meeting entirely on a virtual basis. All this depends on the development of the Covid-19 situation over the summer.
Please stay safe everyone!
We are excited to announce another edition of the Uppsala Transposon Symposium series:
Please save the date!

We are very excited about the 3rd Uppsala Transposon Symposium – understanding population and ecological dynamics within genomes, which will take place on September 27, 2019.
Please see the final schedule here (and pdf version with map here) with a fantastic lineup of keynote talk, regular talks, and lightning talks.
Feel free to drop in for talks and discussions even if you didn’t register – but please note that coffee/tea is reserved for registered participants.
We are looking forward to meeting you next week!
