Aussois (Savoie, France), June 17th-21st 2013

Overview: The aim of the summer school is to provide a comprehensive
overview on software and statistical methods for population genetics.
Lecture notes and software demos will be held during the summer school.
The three topics of the summer school are: population structure,
demographic inference, and selection scan. The summer school will take
place from the 17th of June (arrival on Monday afternoon) to the 21st of
June (end of the school on Friday morning after breakfast).

The summer school will take place in Aussois, a small village in the
Vanoise National Park (French Alps). The remote setting, along with the
challenging program, were chosen to promote and enhance the
communication and interaction between teachers and participants.
Lectures and software demos will provide the necessary environment to
generate lively discussions and initiate new synergies among the young
researchers.

There are around 10 slots of 20 minutes oral presentations as well as
two poster sessions where the participants are welcomed to present their
own research.


Rates: Registration fees include attendance to the courses, food,
housing, conference banquet, and the social event on Wednesday. The
rates are of 350 euros for PhD students and postdocs, 450 euros for
faculty members, and a supplement of 50 euros will be charged for the
participants that prefer to stay in a single room instead of a double
room. Registrations will be closed on March 7th, 2013.
