CE3C is organising an exciting new series of Advanced Courses for the 2024-2025 academic year.
These Courses are particularly valuable for students in the first year of Doctoral Programmes at CIÊNCIAS (e.g. Biology), 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 these students, the courses are free of charge, provided they count towards credits* for their PhD Programme. The courses are also free for more advanced PhD students of the BIODIV programme.
These Advanced Courses are also open to post-graduate students from other Doctoral Programmes, Master’s students in Biology and related fields, and other individuals with a suitable background, such as a Bachelor’s degree in Biology or related areas.
Find below the detailed information on each course, including schedules, programme content, and registration details.
Stay tuned for more courses coming soon!
