Althenberg 16 or the Woodstock of evolution

A high profile workshop on evolution to be held next July at the Konrad Lorenz Institute of Evolution and Cognition Research. Looks promising for sure and mainstream/state of the art. Neither Kaufmann nor Piatelli-Palmarini were invited. Here is a copy of the invitation. The first paragraph:

We are writing to invite you to what we hope will be a major event to be hosted by the Konrad Lorenz Institute of Evolution and Cognition Research, in Altenberg, Austria (http://www.kli.ac.at/), on 10-13 July 2008. Our idea is nothing less than getting together a high-level group of biologists and philosophers to have a frank exchange of ideas about what, if anything, might a new Extended Evolutionary Synthesis look like.
