4th Rosaceae Genomics Conference

UPDATE AND NEWS

IMPORTANT: On February 16 the registration fees will increase in $100 US dollars, so we really encourage you to register early.

If you haven't registered or sent your Abstract we urge you to do so ASAP! We are in the final stages of organizing the abstracts and the scientific committee will be reviewing them this week.

We would like to thank everyone who has sent us their abstracts in word or pdf format. If you haven't sent it to us yet, please send it ASAP.

We would also like to let you know that there are a limited number of fellowships for graduate students. This fellowship will include shared housing in an apartment complex as well as the hotel's meal program. Those who are interested in applying for this fellowship should fill out the form that appears on the rgc4 website as well as present proof that they are enrolled in a graduate program. PLEASE NOTE: THIS FELLOWSHIP DOES NOT INCLUDE REGISTRATION. THE STUDENT MUST STILL CANCEL THE STUDENT REGISTRATION FEE. The deadline to present Student Fellowship Applications is February 22nd. APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER THIS DATE!!

The abstracts that we have received are very interesting and from many countries throughout the world, suggesting that this conference will be a great opportunity to for us to discuss the international advances in Rosaceae genomics as well as get to know each other more socially.

We look forward to seeing you "at the end of the world".

Saludos,

Organizing Committee
