EvE Seminar
The Evolution and Ecology Seminar series offers local EvE scientists and guests from research institutions worldwide to present their latest science. The EvE seminar is thus a perfect setting - for students and faculty alike - to stay updated on the developments in the fields and establish contacts with collaborators or supervisors.
Seminar speakers are usually available for in-depth individual discussion - please contact the speaker's host to arrange a meeting.
Coordinator
Prof. Dr. Oliver Bossdorf
WHEN? Tuesdays 1215 - 1315
(only during the lecturing period)
WHERE?
Usually, we meet in Lecture hall N1 • Hörsaalzentrum Morgenstelle • Tübingen (GM).
However, this semester talks will be given remotely via zoom because of the corona pandemic. The zoom link is circulated with each announcement, a few days before a seminar talk. Contact the organiser if you want to be included in the email list.
Program Winter 2020/2021
The full program is currently only accessible here, but will be transferred to this page soon.
