*********
The current COVID-19 situation is challenging and difficult for all of us - we hope this virtual conference will allow colleagues to share and discuss their latest research, while under travel and stay-at-home restrictions.

You are cordially invited to participate in the 18th meeting on EUKARYOTIC DNA REPLICATION & GENOME MAINTENANCE. We are looking forward to a broad-based meeting, and abstracts are welcomed on all aspects of replication of DNA and genomic instability in eukaryotes. The meeting will be held virtually, beginning late morning ET on Wednesday, September 8, and ending late morning ET on Sunday, September 12, 2021. The format of the meeting will include morning and afternoon sessions consisting of short talks, principally on unpublished work. In addition, there will be a poster session Friday afternoon.

Please bring this notice to the attention of any of your colleagues who may be interested in participating in the meeting.
All abstracts must be submitted by the abstract deadline. Late registrations may be accepted after the abstract deadline if the meeting is not oversubscribed. In the event of over-subscription, every effort will be made to ensure that all groups who wish to participate will be represented. The status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. We have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs. Please apply in writing via email to Val Pakaluk and state your financial needs; preference will be given to those who submit abstracts.
