Dear participants, It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the III International Meeting of the Portuguese Society of Genetics, held in Évora on the 27th and 28th of June 2022. We have put together a two-day program, organised in five different sessions and focused on encouraging scientific discussion. As in the previous editions, this Meeting is dedicated those who work or are interested in the different areas of Genetics. The program will reflect the diversity of subjects within Genetics, with special focus on Animal Genetics, Plant Genetics, Microbial Genetics, Biomedical Genetics and Evolutionary Genetics. Invited speakers with outstanding careers will set the tone to a Meeting that we hope will be a great opportunity to present and discuss the latest advances in Genetics. The III International Meeting of the Portuguese Society of Genetics (IMPSG) will take place at an Auditorium located at the most emblematic building of the University of Évora, the Colégio Espírito Santo. The organizing committee, on behalf of the University of Évora and of the Portuguese Society of Genetics, welcomes researchers and also students working in the field of Genetics to this two-day Meeting, in which we will get back to the interactions of an in-person meeting, sharing experiences and knowledge, and enjoying the scientific atmosphere of Évora.
