The annual Young Systematists Forum represents an exciting setting for Masters, PhD and young postdoctoral researchers to present their data, often for the first time, to a scientific audience interested in taxonomy, systematics and phylogenetics. This well-established event provides an important opportunity for budding systematists to discuss their research infront of their peers within a supportive environment. Supervisors and otherestablished systematists are also encouraged to attend.
