PlantCline-EVENET summer school – Evolutionary Applications

PlantCline-EVENET summer school – Evolutionary Applications

In this summer school we bring together specialists in the field of applied evolutionary biology and ecology to demonstrate the significance of evolutionary biology for the optimisation of ecological applications. Experts will present a broad perspective on the fundaments and methodologies of eco-evolutionary applications. We invite students and early career researchers to present their research that addresses important questions in the fields of eco-evolutionary applications like ecotoxicology, climate change, diseases outbreaks, pest control and biological invasions.

The summer school will be organised to stimulate discussions among attendees to advance insights on the role of ecology and evolution to mitigate environmental problems associated with global change. Students can receive 3 credits upon handing in a perspective note (2000 words) on the importance of evolution for defined ecological applications.
