Description
The Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE) invites proposals for its Research Synthesis Working Groups, designed to catalyze innovative collaborations and advance integrative themes in evolutionary biology. Selected groups will present coordinated talks, participate in dedicated collaborative sessions at the annual Evolution meeting, and are expected to produce tangible scholarly outputs such as synthetic review articles or special journal features. The initiative emphasizes fostering ongoing research networks and generating lasting impact within the SSE community. Both in-person (up to two) and one virtual working group may be supported each year.
