The annual PFGS Colloquium has a tradition of enabling those with interests in genetics and society to present their work to an audience of peers from a range of disciplines, traditions and institutions. These gatherings promote debate and dissemination in a rich inter-disciplinary setting and provide opportunities for cross-fertilisation of methods, theory and findings. They give the next generation of academics the opportunity to make new connections, identify emerging research themes and attend free workshops given by established academics (frequently PFGS alumni) in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.
