Our 28th annual meeting will take place online, in the afternoon of the 26th of November 2020. We have arranged two excellent speakers, namely Lars Chittka, who will deliver the Brill-Baerends lecture, as well as Barbara Caspers, who will deliver the Dobberke lecture. In addition, we will host an online poster session where BSc, Msc and PhD students can present their work in separate, themed break-out groups. The meeting will end with our annual assembly and an award ceremony for the best student posters.
