5th Dresden Meeting on Insect Phylogeny, September 23 - 25, 2011

 Download the Programme here ...

The Dresden Meetings on Insect Phylogeny are dedicated to a broad variety of topics concerning phylogeny reconstruction in Insecta; this includes both the interordinal and intraordinal levels, both morphological and molecular work, and both extant and fossil taxa, as well as occasional methodological contributions.

The 5th Dresden Meeting on Insect Phylogeny (2011) will not have a particular focus but will generally deal with frontline topics of phylogenetic research in insects. There will be about 30 invited talks presented by high-profile specialists. In addition, there is the possibility to submit free oral presentations and posters. The language of the Meeting is English.
Submission of posters and oral presentations

If you want to submit a poster or an oral presentation, please send an abstract (Microsoft Word) not longer than 400 words (including title and author lines) to the contact e-mail address of the meeting. The receipt of the abstract will be confirmed by e-mail. The topic of the poster or oral presentation should have a focus on the phylogeny of some taxon of Insecta.

Deadline for abstract submission is June 20, 2011 for oral presentations and July 31, 2011 for posters.
Submitted posters and oral presentations can only be accepted if the first author has been registered as a visitor of the "5th Dresden Meeting on Insect Phylogeny" by the deadline for submission, June 20 (oral presentations) or July 31 (posters).

Oral presentations: These are limited to 20 minutes including discussion. As the number of slots available is limited, contributions submitted as oral presentations might be redirected to the poster presentations. The author(s) will be informed about acceptance as an oral presentation by the end of June.

Posters: The maximum measurements for a poster are (DIN A1 or little less than B1 - ISO, No liability assumed!).

Abstracts: The following pattern should be followed in all abstracts, both for posters and oral presentations:
Please head the page by "POSTER" or "ORAL PRESENTATION"
Title of poster / oral presentation
[new line] author 1 (institutional affiliation or private address)
[new line] author 2 (institutional affiliation or private address)
[new line] author n (institutional affiliation or private address)
[new line] Text, not structured by headings
The abstracts will be printed in a booklet together with the programme and will be distributed to visitors at the reception of the meeting.

Location

The building is the so called “Blockhaus” in the centre of Dresden, on the riverbank of "Elbe".#
Address: "Neustaedter Markt 19", next to a golden horseman, people call him "Goldenen Reiter".
Tram/streetcar stop "Neustaedter Markt" in front of the house. Available tram lines "4, 8 and 9"; the "9" passes the major railway stations in "Dresden-Neustadt" and "Dresden Hauptbahnhof".
There is a railway shuttle (S-BAHN) from station "Dresden-Neustadt" to the Airport in "Dresden-Klotzsche".

If you come by tram line "7" down from Dresden-Klotzsche (direction "Pennrich") it needs 10 minutes of walking down the pedestrian zone "Hauptstraße" from the tram stop at "Albertplatz" to the location "Blockhaus". And only 5 minutes walking if you exit at tram stop "Carolaplatz". Turn right into "Köpckestraße" you'll soon see the "golden horseman" and the location "Blockhaus".
