Dear colleagues,

I have the pleasure to announce our next online meeting on the 26^th of May 2026, 12-14 GMT/UTC, so early in the day for Americans (5-7 San Francisco, 7-9 Chicago, 9-11 Argentina), early afternoon for people in Europe (14-16 Paris CEST) and late  in the day for scientists in Asia (Tokyo 21-23) . Please recheck your local times against GMT.

We will use Zoom for the meeting, please use the following link to join :

https://inrae-fr.zoom.us/j/97607941481

This time we will have two 5 minute live talks by PhD and graduate students, and three pre-prepared 20-min talks, which need to be watched before the meeting. A second email with links to the youtube channel as well as the talks will be sent before the actual meeting, probably on the 13^th of May, so you might want to reserve time to watch.

During the meeting, the speakers of the 20-min talks will give a short introduction during the meeting (2-3 min), so that we can use the meeting time mainly for discussions (15min per talk).

We will have 2 hours for the meeting. The tentative schedule will be (using GMT times) :

12:00 Welcome, introduction to the meeting and its program

12:10 Cheng-Yun Lai (PhD student, Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences, Nagoya University, Japan) « Detecting genomic signals of local adaptation in Japanese beech (Fagus crenata) »

12:20 Ananda Adhikari (graduate student, Purdue University, Indiana, USA) «Trait-integrated joint species distribution modeling of eastern U.S. Quercus spp. »

12:40 Jingshu Wang (PhD student, South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou , RPC) « Population genomics and pangenomics reveal homoploid hybrid speciation in two closely related white oak species »

13:00 Ludovic Duvaux (research engineer, Biogeco, INRAE, France) « The Pangenoak project: Pangenomics approaches to study local adaptation and reproductive isolation in European white oaks »

13:20 John E Carlson (Professor Emeritus, Pennsylvania State University, USA) «  The Eastern North America Oak Super-Pangenome Project »

13:40-14:00 General Discussion / IUFRO WP specifics

we hope to see you all there, virtually
