An international plan for education, awareness, commemoration and celebration of the July 2022 Bicentennial of Gregor Mendel's Birth in Brno Czechia

Original language description

Introduction: Johann Mendel was born July 22, 1822 at Vrazne in Silesia and died as Abbot Gregor Mendel on January 6, 1884 in Brno, Moravia. After eight years of experiments, and another year and a half of compiling and interpreting his results, he founded the science of genetics, giving two lectures at the Natural Science Society in former Brünn (Brno), and publishing two papers on inheritance (1866 and 1870) in the society&apos;s journal. But there is much more to his life and work to be seen following his path from a small birth town, to a monastery in Brno, a university in Vienna, political activism in Brno, and, of course, his experimental garden and bee house at the Augustian monastery (mendelmuseum.muni.cz/en). Methods: To mark the unique occasion, planning has benefited from virtual meetings with an international group representing diverse interests and perspectives, including the ESHG. Mission and Vision: Organize and help implement international programming designed to educate, celebrate, commemorate, and bring awareness to diverse audiences. Increase global awareness among geneticists, other professionals and the public of the current meanings of Mendel&apos;s life and work, as a person of science and a cleric, the founder of genetics and contributor to meteorology and agriculture, pedagogy, and his religious community. Goals: Improved science literacy and awareness, education, appreciation of science, celebration, inspiration for trainees, students, and the public, international collaboration, and enjoyment. Brno conference to be held at the Augustinian Abbey: &quot;Bicentennial of the birth of Gregor Johann Mendel&quot;, July 20-23, 2022 (www.mendel22.cz).
