Coordination project of the Priority Program SPP1819 - Rapid evolutionary adaptation

SPP1819“快速进化适应-潜力和限制”将理论分析与亲核和真核生物快速适应和进化的经验研究相结合。为此目的，将采用进化生物学、人口遗传学和生态学的跨学科方法。现有的DNA测序技术和相应的生物信息学工具将用于遗传变异的研究。协调项目负责实现SPP的总体目标。协调计划的活动和目标包括(1)管理优先计划，包括与SPP指导委员会密切协调，报告和规划不同的活动。(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，将介绍项目和新的成果，并启用SPP成员之间的网络。在进化和生态研究问题的理论建模和定量分析方面具有能力的SPP成员将组织专题讲习班，以提高青年科学家的技能和能力。(3) SPP科学家的培养。为实现这一目标，将为SPP1819所列专题制定和教授生殖研究培训模块。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。预期这两项活动将有助于取得高质量的研究成果。(4)设立一个网站，介绍个别项目和成果，让有兴趣的公众更了解该项计划。此外，该网站将成为年会之间交流信息的主要媒介（https://dfg-spp1819.uni-hohenheim.de/）。协调项目的其他任务是(5)建立与其他国家和国际研究活动的网络和(6)改善男女平等和青年科学家的职业前景。

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.
