The EES colloquium takes place every year in the winter semester. External guests are invited to provide insights into current research in the field of evolution, ecology and biodiversity.
The colloquium is part of the MEES T1 module (students please register via Friedolin for the module and exam: MEES800 | Prf.Nr.: 335982 T1 - Projektmodul MEES: mündliche Leistungsnachweis Seminarbeitrag). To get the the credits, you need to attend 6 lectures.
