Zürich Interaction Seminar
This seminar is jointly hosted by University of Zürich and ETH Zürich, students from both institutions are encouraged to participate.
The Zürich Interaction Seminar (ZIS) 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.
