Message from the 2025 organisers
Our annual event is back for 2025!
The NZ Molecular Ecology Conference is a long-standing, community-driven event dedicated to advancing molecular ecology in Australasia. In its 27th year, the 2025 meeting will continue its legacy as a grassroots, collaborative, and inclusive forum with a strong focus on early-career researcher development/exchange – bringing together MSc and PhD students, alongside postdocs, academic staff, and other stakeholders collectively working across fields such as conservation genomics, invasion genomics, environmental DNA, and broader intersections of ecology and molecular biology.
In 2025, the meeting will take place at Raglan – an idyllic coastal town. The venue offers lodge-style accommodation options with on-site facilities to host talks, social events, and shared meals, encouraging open dialogue, skill-sharing, and community building.
See below for the preliminary schedule. Meals will be catered as noted, and group transport options will be arranged to support accessibility from Hamilton airport or Hamilton City.
We are committed to equity and inclusion policies, and will ensure a respectful, welcoming environment for all attendees. This includes diverse speaker selection, a transparent code of conduct, and physical accessibility considerations at the venue.
