Program and Information
The Munich Graduate Program for Evolution, Ecology and Systematics (EES) invites applications for an International EES Summer School on 'Evolutionary and Ecological Consequences of Global Change' held at Frauenchiemsee (80 km east of Munich) from 9 - 14 September 2007.
The 5-day Summer School will consist of lectures, discussions and excercises provided by the invited teachers as well as oral and/or poster contributions by the more advanced student participants. Arrival of participants is scheduled for Sunday 9 September evening, departure for Friday 14 September early afternoon.
The summer school is open to students at the PhD and Master/advanced Diploma levels. The course language will be English. Students who are involved in global change related research are encouraged to prepare short oral contributions or posters highlighting their research interests and/or achievements.
Thanks to support from the Volkswagen Foundation, the University of Munich's EES program will cover costs for housing and meals during the Summer School. Participants will have to cover their travel expenses and must pay a 50 Euro registration fee. A limited amount of funding is available to partly subsidize travel expenses for students from the most distant localities.
