The annual EMPSEB is supported by ESEB to provide a platform for PhD students studying Evolutionary Biology to present their work and to meet their peers from all over Europe. The meeting is held at a different European city each year and is independently organized by current PhD students in this country.

The 31st European Meeting for PhD Students in Evolutionary Biology (EMPSEB) will take place in Oberwiesenthal, Germany, from the 8th to 12th of June, 2026
