If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conference overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming to EMBL Heidelberg following three previous editions in the UK and the US, this conference aims to help foster the development of a European hub for the emerging field, broadening participation and connecting the academic, clinical, and technology-oriented communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Convening researchers studying the origins, patterns, and consequences of mutations across cells, tissues, individuals, populations, and species, the meeting will explore genome evolution across diverse biological contexts and timescales, with relevance to human health, ageing, cancer, somatic mosaicism, developmental disorders, and fundamental evolutionary biology. Alongside cutting-edge discoveries, the highlight will be on emerging technologies and computational advances, including the AI-driven approaches that are transforming the study of mutational processes and genome evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key themes include mutagenesis and genome change, germline and population mutations, mutations across the tree of life, somatic evolution and disease, and synthetic genomics and perturbation-based approaches. The programme is designed to attract a broad audience, including cancer, evolutionary and population geneticists, developmental biologists, and medical researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invited speakers will represent diverse academic backgrounds, geographic regions, and career stages, complemented by talks selected from submitted abstracts. Strong emphasis will be placed on participation by trainees and early-career researchers to showcase recent advances and encourage long-lasting interdisciplinary collaborations.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-sponsors\"><h2>Sponsors<\/h2>\n<p>We offer a variety of event sponsoring possibilities, with the flexibility to select a set sponsorship package or combine individual sponsorship options to suit your event budget.&nbsp;Discounts are available for companies sponsoring multiple events at EMBL Heidelberg.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.embl.org\/events\">View other conferences<\/a>, or contact&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:sponsorship@embl.de\">sponsorship@embl.org<\/a>&nbsp;for further information on sponsoring possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in becoming a media partner of this event, please visit our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/sponsor-an-event\/#vf-tabs__section-08208670-4ad4-45ca-a4ff-ac6edb6ffd0b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;media partnerships webpage.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><p><a href=\"mailto:sponsorship@embl-em.de?subject=%20Request%20a%20Sponsorship%20Brochure&#038;body=Please%20kindly%20send%20me%20the%20sponsorship%20brochure%20for%20(please%20indicate%20the%20event%20your%20are%20interested%20in).\" class=\"vf-button vf-button--primary vf-button--pill\">Request a sponsorship brochure<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vf-box vf-box--normal vf-box-theme--quaternary | vf-u-margin__bottom--400\">\n      <h3 class=\"vf-box__heading\">\n                Warning                  <\/h3> \n        <p class=\"vf-box__text\">EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials.
