Ecology Department Symposium 2027
It is time for the highlight of the year: the Ecology Department Symposium. The day will feature interesting guest speakers, short presentations from your colleagues – and from you, if it is your turn – as well as good food and fun activities.
The programme has not yet been finalised, but we are delighted to welcome two external guests:
Malin Ah-King is an evolutionary biologist and gender researcher specialising in feminist science studies. Her research has also highlighted gender stereotypes and heteronormative assumptions in theory, including evolutionary theories of sex, and in research, such as studies of animals’ so-called sex roles, as well as in biology textbooks.
Maj Rundlöf is an ecologist and environmental scientist. She worked at the department as a postdoctoral researcher ca 15 years ago. Her research explores how bees and other pollinators are affected by agricultural land management and pesticide use, and how we can create better conditions for them and the pollination services they provide.
Basic facts
The symposium will start at 9:30 with fika and registration on Wednesday and we will finish by ca 13:00 on Thursday. We´ll be in Uppsala. The department will cover accomodation and travel costs for Grimsö staff.

*If you work in research, you are expected to give a short talk from time to time. We will select people who have not spoken before or who have not had the opportunity for some time. However, you may be particularly keen to give a short talk this year – if so, please volunteer! We also welcome short talks from administrative and technical staff.
