At CE3C, we have upheld a long-standing tradition of offering a comprehensive set of Advanced Courses each academic year since 2015.

These courses are designed to equip participants with cutting-edge knowledge and skills across a variety of ecological, evolutionary, and environmental topics. Taught by CE3C researchers and invited experts, they ensure that participants benefit from both in-depth academic insight and hands-on approaches.

Advanced Courses
2025–2026

CE3C is pleased to announce a new and expanded edition of its Advanced Courses for the 2025–2026 academic year, now offering a total of 16 courses, including three exciting new additions.

These courses are particularly beneficial for first-year PhD students enrolled in Doctoral Programmes at CIÊNCIAS ULisboa (e.g. Biology), as well as in inter-institutional programmes such as Biodiversity, Genetics and Evolution (BIODIV, ULisboa and UPorto), Biology and Ecology of Global Changes (BEAG, ULisboa and UAveiro), and Sustainability Science (ULisboa and associated institutions). For students in these programmes, courses are free of charge, provided they count towards ECTS credits for their PhD. The courses are also free for more advanced PhD students in the BIODIV programme.

Our Advanced Courses are also open to postgraduate students from other Doctoral Programmes, Master’s students in Biology and related fields, and other individuals with an appropriate academic background, such as a Bachelor’s degree in Biology or related areas.

Explore the full list of available courses below, including detailed information on schedules, content, and registration procedures.

New courses and more learning opportunities await — stay tuned!
