The 6ᵗʰ annual FRESH conference (Nov. 4–5) and the 4ᵗʰ annual RESHAPE conference (Nov. 5–6) will be held in Montpellier, at the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme – Sud.

Registration is free, and lunches and coffee breaks will be provided to all participants. A joint dinner for both networks will also be offered on Wednesday, November 5, to all registered attendees. We hope these arrangements will encourage cross-participation and foster scientific and interpersonal exchange within and between our two communities.

A highlight of the 2025 edition will be a shared session (in English) on Wednesday afternoon, November 5, on the theme “Evolutionary Medicine & Public Health Challenges”, featuring a keynote lecture by Lluis Quintana-Murci. This session aims to provide a fertile space for dialogue, highlighting the complementarities between the perspectives of FRESH and RESHAPE.

On November 6, RESHAPE will also host two additional thematic sessions (primarily in French, though presentations in English are welcome): Public Health and Inequalities and Climate Change, Health & Societal Challenges.

Submissions of non-thematic presentations on any research topic related to the networks are welcome, for either FRESH (Nov. 4–5) or the “Miscellaneous” session (Nov. 6) of RESHAPE.
