Society of Australian Systematic Biologists

The organising committee is very excited to soon welcome you to Canberra ACT, the traditional lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people. Registrations open @Kambri_ANU from 3:00 PM and to start the conversation, the Mixer at 5:00 PM proudly brought to you by @BushBlitz2.

The Biosystematics 2023 Conference—26–30 November 2023—seeks to promote the documentation of the rich biodiversity of Australasia. “Sound knowledge of biodiversity is crucial for achieving environmental and economic sustainability, and there is still much to discover about the unique and globally significant biodiversity of the Australasian region.” biosystematics2023.org

The event will be held at the Kambri Cultural Centre, @ourANU, and is a joint conference of the Australian Biological Resources Study, Society of Australian Systematic Biologists, Australasian Mycological Society and Australasian Systematic Botany Society. #taxonomy #BioSystematics2023
