BIOTA-FAPESP

Simpósio Internacional Evolutionary Biology and Biodiversity Conservation: Scientific and Social Aspects (November 10 and 11, 2008) English version

O Simpósio Internacional Evolutionary Biology and Biodiversity Conservation: Scientific and Social Aspects foi realizado nos dias 10 e 11 de novembro na sede da FAPESP, em São Paulo, tendo como palestrantes pesquisadores do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos, México, Japão, Suiça, França, Alemanha e Austrália.

O evento, promovido pelo FAPESP e pelo projeto internacional Diversitas, por meio de seus programas Biota-FAPESP e bioGENESIS, respectivamente, apresentou à comunidade científica brasileira maneiras inovadoras de fazer com que a biologia evolutiva contribua na solução de problemas ambientais. O simpósio teve o objetivo de contribuir para a conservação da biodiversidade e para o bem-estar da sociedade, além de discutir o futuro da biologia evolutiva no país e a possibilidades de colaborações entre o Brasil e instituições internacionais.
