Next year’s Calpe Conference, which will be its 13th year, will focus on the theme "Human Evolution – 150 years after Darwin".

It will be held from the 16th to the 20th September 2009 and promises to be a very special event with the leading world speakers on show.

The Gibraltar Museum has been working for over a year to ensure an impressive line-up of speakers and the event will be a highlight of the international year of Darwin events.
In addition to the main speakers there will be a programme of short communications by other speakers.

Registration for this conference is now open via the Gibraltar Museum’s web site at Gibraltar Calpe Conference 2009

As in previous years, Gibraltarians may register free of charge and are encouraged to do so early.
