SEMINARS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY
Seminars take place every Tuesday from 3 to 4:30 PM. If allowed by presenters, the PDFs of talks will be shared later, but presentations will not be streamed live online (except when the Department of Zoology joins, as the large lecture room is out of order during the whole winter term). Note that locations of seminars vary.
If not specified otherwise, the primary language of all seminars is English.
