Overview

The meeting focuses on biophysical and systems biology principles and a mechanistic understanding of selective pressures and neutral evolutionary processes, and interaction with phylogenetics. Topics include adaptation, coevolution, convergence, neutral processes, and prediction of folding. Discussion topics for 2012 to be decided.

This is a small meeting, with plenty of opportunity for interaction. Talks by students as well as more senior folk are encouraged.
