We are pleased to announce the first conference of the European Social Science Genomics Network (ESSGN) to take place in Bologna, Italy, on 19 and 20 May 2022, with an introductory training session on Wednesday 18 May.
We are delighted to announce our keynote speakers will be Professor Melinda Mills (University of Oxford) and Dr Adam Rutherford, author and broadcaster.
The conference starts on the morning of Thursday, 19 May and ends on Friday 18 May early evening. On Wednesday 18 May we have organised a pre-conference afternoon course on epigenetics and DNA methylation specifically targeted to early career researchers taught by Professor Leo Schalkwyk and Professor Meena Kumari.
The conference is funded by the ESRC Research Centre for Micro-Social Change (MiSoC) and the European Research Council (GENPOP).
This conference aims to improve our understanding of how genetic endowments and childhood circumstances may shape life choices and health and socio-economic outcomes across the life-course. The conference will foster the discussion of how public policy and private interventions could help each child achieve their potential and level the playing field.
