The 12th symposium on "morphometrics and evolution of forms" will be held at the university of Burgundy (Dijon) from 5 to 7 june 2024.

This symposium focuses on the study of the biological evolution of shapes. It is open to anyone from different fields (palaeontology, anthropology, developmental biology, archaeology, medicine, evolutionary sciences, bioinformatics, etc.) who develops or applies quantitative methods for studying shapes.

The symposium has been held every 2 years for over 20 years. For this twelfth edition, it will be held over two and a half days and will bring together a large part of the national community. SMEF is also open to the international community. The languages of presentation will therefore be French and English.
