To mark the 205th anniversary of the birth of Gregor Johann Mendel, the founder of modern genetics, the Mendel Genetics Conference 2027 will take place in Brno. This international scientific conference will bring together leading experts in genetics and molecular biology, offering a platform to present the latest scientific findings, foster professional discussion, and build international collaborations.

The conference will be held from 22 to 23 July 2027 in Brno, the city where Gregor Johann Mendel laid the foundations of modern genetics. Participants can look forward to keynote lectures by world-leading scientists, cutting-edge insights from genetic research, and opportunities for international networking and knowledge sharing. Announced speakers include Nobel laureates Jean-Marie Lehn and Carol Greider.

The Mendel Genetics Conference 2027 will commemorate the significance of Mendel’s discoveries and their profound impact on the development of modern genetics. At the same time, it will create a space to share the latest findings and discuss future directions in genetic research.

The academic conference will be followed on 24 July by the Mendel Festival, which will bring Mendel’s legacy and contemporary science closer to the general public through science communication activities and a cultural programme.
