50 years after the first European Human Genetics Conference we will meet again in Copenhagen for The European Human Genetics Conference 2017 and the 7th International Workshop on the History of Human Genetics, starting with a meeting of Mendel Society in Lund.
The workshop will begin on May 25 afternoon in Lund, Sweden, very close and connected by a bridge to Copenhagen. Lund has been an important centre of human genetic research since the middle of the 20th century up to the present and its Mendelian Society, founded in 1910, is probably the oldest Society for genetics in the world.

Development of medical genetics and the establishment of genetic counselling across Europe
Establishment of societies involved with heredity like f.e. The Mendelian Society of Lund (1910), The German Society of Genetics (1921) and The European Society of Human Genetics (1967).
Influence of human genetics on society
Contributions on other historical aspects of human and medical genetics will also be welcome.
