SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

Collaborate and Innovate with EMGS SIGs

The Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are the heart of the EMGS. Special Interests Groups are collaborative structures where scientists from different backgrounds (academia, government, and industry) and career stages (students, new investigators, early and established career scientists) can meet and collaborate about a specific area of science related to the genome. SIG meetings at the annual meeting provide a space for free-from discussion and short presentations of the key challenges and current research. This is the place where students, new investigators and seasoned experts in the field will interact in an informal setting. The SIGs are also responsible for creating proposals for content for the symposia and keynote speakers for the annual meetings. In between annual meetings each SIG organizes webinars to keep the discussions going. SIGs collaborate regularly to create new viewpoints and connections. EMGS members can be involved with multiple SIGs and you do not have to be an expert at all, just interested.
