Sign up is free, but you do need to register!

This workshop brings together young researchers from a variety of departments (e.g. maths, biology, physics, chemistry, philosophy, history, etc...) who are interested in evolution and ecology. Our goal is to develop interdisciplinary skills through PhD student-led focal topics and collaborative discussions. Following a series of talks, we gather in groups and discuss open questions from current research and how to approach them from different interdisciplinary angles.

The workshop is built around methodological themes - from experimental data acquisition, data analysis and processing, over theoretical modelling, hypothesis testing, numerical methods, to experimental validation. It focuses on topics (not exclusively) related to

  • Host-Pathogen Co-Evolution
  • Morphometrics
  • Reproduction and Mating Systems
