PopGen Vienna seminars are accessible online:
Members of the evolVienna mailing list will receive event announcements along with access links.

If you missed a talk and would like to see a recording, many are posted on our YouTube channel. Unfortunately, for winter semester 2024 we have moved to WebEx and have had a variety of technical problems with recordings. By mid November we hope to post all talks (when speakers give permission).

Note to the audience: photos and/or videos may be taken. We may use photos and/or talk recordings to document the event at www.popgen-vienna.at, the Vetmeduni Vienna website and/or on Social Media (Twitter (X), YouTube, etc.). Link to Vetmeduni's privacy policy for events and seminars
