Program of courses and seminars for the year 2021
The PhD program in Evolutionary Biology and Ecology envisions a series of activities and courses for doctoral training.
English courses (at different levels), courses in Statistics and Informatics are planned. In addition, ad hoc seminars will be also held to train PhD students in research management and funding, as well as exploitation of research results also in terms of intellectual property.
Seminars related to research topics of the School of Doctorate, held by external lecturers, will be available. PhD students are requested to participate in the discussion.
Until further notice the seminars will be delivered online, through the Microsoft Teams platform (download).
