<h2>IXth Congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology</h2>
<h4>Dear ESEB members and others interested in evolutionary biology,</h4>
<p>The <strong>ninth Congress</strong> of the European Society for Evolutionary
Biology will be held in <strong>Leeds, UK from 18-24 August 2003</strong> and
it already looks like being a cracker. The structure of the congress will be
similar to previous meetings, each day starting with a plenary keynote speaker,
followed by parallel symposia. There may also be a few contributed paper sessions.
The congress will cover the field of evolutionary biology in a wide sense but
with emphasis on processes and mechanisms of evolutionary phenomena.
<p><strong>Plenary speakers</strong>
<p>We have confirmed plenary talks from Lord Bob May, Paul Brakefield, Daniel
Hartl, Allen Orr and Robert Wayne.
<p><strong>Symposia</strong>
<p>30 <a href="symposia.htm" target="_self">symposia</a> proposals have now been
accepted covering a wide range of current evolutionary issues. There are 15
full day symposia with 3 invited speakers and 10/11 20 minute slots for submitted
talks, and 15 half day symposia with 2 invited speakers and 4/5 20 minute slots
