We are delighted to host this year’s meeting in Davos, Switzerland, from April 14 - 15, 2026.
Davos is the highest town in Europe, located at 1,560 meters in the Swiss Alps. It is known both as an international conference and sports destination. In April, the weather can be variable, ranging from sunny spring days to occasional snowfall, so participants are advised to bring warm clothing and suitable footwear.
The EMGM is an annual scientific conference that brings together researchers working at the intersection of statistics, mathematics, and human genetics. EMGM 2026 will continue the tradition of fostering collaboration and innovation in the field by providing a platform for early-career and established scientists to present their latest research, exchange ideas, and explore new directions in genetic epidemiology, statistical genetics, and related disciplines. The meeting features invited talks, contributed presentations, and informal discussions in a collegial and interactive setting.
We are happy that Dr. Tim Frayling, Joelle Mbatchou, Ph.D., Dr. Eleonora Porcu, and Dr. Marylyn Ritchie will be the invited speakers of the conference.
Many thanks go to our sponsors, the Kühne Foundation, the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, the Austro-Swiss Region of the International Biometric Society, Springer Nature, and the Schweizerischer Nationalfonds SNF. Thanks to the Schweizerischer Nationalfonds SNF, we support the travel of 4 early-career presenters.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Davos!
