General Information
Vincent O’Connor and Lindy Holden-Dye are delighted to bring the worm community to the sunny south!
We are adopting the well-received format of the meeting held in Durham 2025 and the meeting will run from Wednesday midday until Friday lunchtime.
There will be a mix of keynote talks, short talks selected from abstract submissions, a poster session with drinks reception followed by a buffet dinner (with prizes for best posters from postgrads).
The Wednesday afternoon will be devoted to talks that illustrate the translation of basic worm research to real world problems and career paths- the intention is that this should be particularly of interest to ECRs.
All researchers who study C. elegans and other nematodes are most welcome!
Deadline for submissions: 10th March 2026
