Biodiversity and Ecotoxicology in Mediterranean Ecosystems 1400-4EU-BAEiME
This course is part of the “ABC in Biodiversity” educational path realized as a 4EU+ educational project in cooperation with Sorbonne University and Charles University.
This course is a practical follow-up to the “Biodiversity around the corner” (1400-4EU-BAC) course realized from February to May. This intensive field course is provided as a context-based project where students use their knowledge and apply methodologies learnt before. Students engage in the entire research process – asking questions, study design, fieldwork, results analysis and sharing – and in a cross-disciplinary dialogue. Students choose a problem to solve, demanding surpassing a single discipline perspective. They need to place diversity of organisms - including individual- or community-level functional traits - in the spatial context of the physical environment, pollution levels included.
The field course will take place from May, 23rd to June 3rd, 2022, at the Observatoire Océanologique in Banyuls sur Mer, France.
Travel costs, from Paris/Prague/Warsaw, depending which is your home university, and accommodation during the course are covered by 4EU+ funds.
Registration will take place through Sorbonne University and will be open through February. To apply for the course, please send your short CV and a motivation letter to both course coordinators: Sophie Sanchez-Brosseau, sophie.sanchez-brosseau@obs-banyuls.fr, and Laurence Besseau, besseau@obs-banyuls.fr.
IMPORTANT: priority is given to: - students who participate in “Biodiversity around the corner” (1400-4EU-BAC) and who receive a positive grade; - students with some background in biology; - MA students. Four students per university will be accepted.
