Belgian Society for Human Genetics - vzv/absl

The forum aimed at promoting Human Genetics in its wider sense.

We are pleased to invite you to the 2027 annual meeting of the Belgian Society for Human Genetics (BeSHG), which will take place in Ghent on 4 and 5 February 2027.


This year's conference will focus on the timely theme of 'Population Genomics'. We are proud to present an exceptional line-up of international keynote speakers, including Yvonne Bombard, Antonis Antoniou, James Ware, Anna Lindstrand and Simon Fischer. On Thursday 4 February, we will organize a Genetic Retreat for PhD students and young researchers, as well as a 'BeSHG working group' day. The day will end with a few keynote lectures in the late afternoon, followed by dinner and a party. On Friday 5 February, we will organize a BeSHG meeting day full of plenary, parallel and poster sessions, as well as round table discussions.


Registration and abstract submission will open soon, and we look forward to meeting you in Ghent.


Warm regards,


On behalf of the BeSHG board members
