Event details

Living organisms are self-replicating, self-sustaining dynamic systems. Newly emerging insights into the interdependence of bioenergetics and genome function have far-reaching implications for diverse fields, from the origin of life to genomic complexity, from multicellular differentiation to ageing. This meeting brings together major contributors from diverse disciplines, with the objective of driving an evolutionary synthesis that is rooted in thermodynamics.

Attending this event

This event is intended for researchers in relevant fields and is free to attend. There are a limited number of places and registration is essential. An optional lunch is offered and should be booked during registration (all major credit cards accepted).

Participants are also encouraged to attend the related satellite meeting Bioenergetics and the major evolutionary transitions which immediately follows this event.
