We arrange both courses and seminars. Take a look at our programme for 2023!
To give an overview of the state of the art research in this area, illustrating how it affects issues of fundamental ecological interest and how it can contribute to novel approaches for the sustainable management of weeds and insect pests in cropping systems.
Learn about what is required to apply for funds or positions, why you should do a post doc, and other things that may be important to consider. Invited researchers (about applications writing and reviewing) and former postdocs presenting information and their perspective based on their experience.
The course provides both fundamental knowledge and insights in recent advances in community ecology. You will learn several methods for studying community change and dynamics, including mathematical modelling, experimental- and time series analyses methods. You will also be able to frame and discuss your research interests in a community ecology context. The second week of the course is given in Öregrund, where exercises and discussions will be combined with lectures, and a final symposium will be held.
How to plan and perform efficient communication using different methods and channels that can be used to reach different target groups.
Introduction of key questions and methods in interdisciplinary research used in e.g. socioecological studies.
How and when to perform Bayesian analyses and how to interpret and report the outcome of the analyses.
The course aim is to give an overview and learn the basics on how to prepare and write a scientific paper for submission to an international, peer reviewed scientific journal. The emphasis of the course is to consider and become familiar with the reviewing process. The course includes two parts: a first part with five meetings where different aspects of the writing process is discussed and the second part of the course consisting of review seminars with a group of 3 -5 students and one invited researcher where one of the participants’ manuscript is reviewed and discussed.
Aim: To illustrate the application of number of multivariate methods on ecological data. Ordination and classification procedures will be demonstrated in lectures and exercises.
Aim: to help each student overcome the initial steep learning curve that is associated with learning R, and how to think in a structured and logical way to make programming easier.
Do you want to pursue a career outside of academia? Have you asked yourself what possibilities you, as a PhD, have in the labor market outside of the university? Do you want to improve your chances of finding your dream job?
The aim of the workshop is to give insights and inspiration on how to write a thesis summary. The topics covered are legal issues concerning the thesis summary writing process, writing inspiration, and advice and discussions on "best practices" for writing a thesis summary.
Based on a series of discussion seminars and reading of scientific literature aiming to provide fundamental knowledge in fisheries ecology, including assessment and management practices.
Objectives: to give and overview and orientation to the history of ecological ideas and thoughts and the development of ecological theories over time and to reflect on the students’ PhD projects in relation to the history of ecological ideas.
