Zürich Ecology and Evolution Interaction Seminar

This seminar is jointly hosted by University of Zürich and ETH Zürich, students from both institutions are encouraged to participate.

Zürich Ecology and Evolution Interaction Seminar provides an informal and engaging environment for graduate students (MSc and PhD) to discuss current research in ecology and evolutionary biology. Each 20–40 minute talk reviews exciting developments in a research field or highlights the presenter's current work. Discussions and networking opportunities foster connections within Zürich's ecology and evolution research community.

In the Autumn Semester 2024, the seminars will be held in room Y25 G11, Irchel Campus, University of Zurich

The talks are held on Fridays from 16:00 until 17:30.

Contact

The seminar is organized by students from the participating universities, usually from the Institute of Integrative Biology at ETH Zurich and the external page Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies at the University of Zurich.

This semester's organisers are Eléonore Perret (ETH, Institute of Integrative Biology) and external page Caspar Goedecker (UZH, Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies). 

Each organizer contributes for two semesters, and it is typically arranged so that there is one “new” organizer and one “experienced” organizer each semester.
