Coordination project of the Priority Program SPP1819 - Rapid evolutionary adaptation

SPP1819《快速进化适应--潜力和制约因素》将原核生物和真核生物的快速适应和进化的理论分析与经验研究结合在一起。为此，将采用进化生物学、种群遗传学和生态学的跨学科方法。目前的DNA测序技术和相应的生物信息学工具将用于研究遗传变异。协调项目负责实现战略优先事项的总体目标。协调项目的活动和目标包括：(1)优先方案的管理，包括与SPP指导委员会密切协调的不同活动的报告和规划。(2)通过组织SPP年度会议和专题研讨会，支持信息交流和科学交流。在年度会议上，将介绍项目和新成果，并使SPP成员之间能够建立联系。SPP成员将组织专题研讨会，这些成员有能力对进化和生态学研究问题进行理论建模和定量分析，以提高青年科学家的技能和能力。(3)SPP科研人员的培养。这将通过为SPP1819所代表的专题开发和教授生殖研究培训模块来实现。培训模块将作为讲习班提供，并将提供讲义、计算机程序和数据集。预计这两项活动都将有助于高质量的研究成果。(4)设立网站，介绍个别项目和成果，以提高公众对战略计划1819的认识。此外，该网站将是年度会议之间信息交流的主要媒介(https://dfg-spp1819.uni-hohenheim.de/).协调项目的其他任务是：(5)与其他国家和国际研究活动建立网络；(6)改善青年科学家的性别平等和职业观点。

The SPP1819 "Rapid Evolutionary Adaptation - Potential and Constraints" integrates theoretical analyses with empiricial studies of rapid adaptation and evolution in pro- and eukaryotes. To this end, interdisciplinary approaches from evolutionary biology, population genetics and ecology will be employed. Current DNA sequencing technologies and corresponding bioinformatics tools will be used for the study of genetic variation. The coordination project is responsible for achieving the overall SPP goals. The activities and objectives of the coordination project include (1) the the administration of the priority program including the reporting and the planning of different activities in close coordination with the steering committee of the SPP. (2) The support of information exchange and the scientific communication by organising annual SPP meetings and topical workshops. At the annual meetings, projects and new results will be presented and the networking between SPP members enabled. Topical workshops will be organized by SPP members with a competence in theoretical modeling and quantitative analysis of evolutionary and ecological research questions in order to improve the skills and competence of young scientists. (3) The training of SPP scientists. This will be achieved by developing and teaching a training module on reproductive research for the topics represented in the SPP1819. The training module will be offered as workshops and the handouts, computer programs and data sets will be made available. Both activities are expected to contribute to a high quality of research results. (4) The implementation of a website for the presentation of individual projects and results to increase the visibility of the SPP1819 for the interested public. In addition, the website will be the main medium for information exchange between the annual meetings (https://dfg-spp1819.uni-hohenheim.de/). Additional tasks of the coordination project are (5) the establishment of networks with other national and international research activities and (6) the improvement of gender equality and career perspectives of young scientists.
