PACE (Plant & Animal Conservation Ecology)

The goal of this lecture series is to provide students with a broad view of conservation research and practice, and to contribute to bridging the gap between the two. We invite people working in biodiversity conservation within different professional frameworks (NGOs, federal and cantonal administration, media), as well as people carrying out conservation research. Each lecturer provides materials which the students have to study beforehand.

Location: In 2025 the presentations take place at the Haller-Auditorium 248, Geologie, Baltzerstrasse 1

Time schedule: Thursday, 16:15 - 18:00
