The 7th international barcode of life conference in Trondheim

The 7th international barcode of life conference took place in the beautiful city of Trondheim in Norway last week. More than 450 participants from all over the world assembled near the polar circle, where at this time of the year the sun goes down only for a few hours and it never gets completely dark. Also several colleagues from the GBOL consortium participated in the conference and presented their results and GBOL. Like in past iBOL conferences the scientific program was very divers and covered multiple topics around barcoding, metabarcoding, eDNA, iDNA, eRNA and kin. Great social events involving a concert in the Nidaros cathedral or the mood during the summer-midnight enhanced the exchange between the scientists. We are looking forward to the next iBOL conference in Costa Rica.
