WHERE: Villa Aske (Bro) & Stockholm
WHEN: 26-30 May 2025
Organizers: Centre for Palaeogenetics, SciLifeLab Ancient DNA unit, Uppsala University Human Evolution research program
In this symposium we are bring together leading experts in the field of palaeogenomics (15 invited speakers) and early career researchers (ECRs) from Sweden (Stockholm and Uppsala) to engage in discussions and share insights on the current state of ancient DNA research and its future trajectories.
The NOBEL SYMPOSIA present an opportunity for Swedish researchers to organise international conferences at the highest scientific level, bringing them in direct contact with the international research frontier.
The Programme Committee of the Nobel Foundation is the body that formally approves applications to arrange NOBEL SYMPOSIA. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences receives and coordinates the evaluation of proposals for NOBEL SYMPOSIA in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Economic Sciences. Through major grants from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation it is now possible to arrange one symposium per year in each of these five fields.
The symposium will end with two public lectures at Aula Magna, Stockholm University (Frescativägen 6, Stockholm) on Friday, 30 May (10:00-12:30):
Ludovic Orlando: “The taming of the horse“
Beth Shapiro: “Can we bring back the woolly mammoth?“
