[Oikos-listan] New application deadline, COTE Summer School (03-07 July)

Due to technical difficulties encountered on the registration platform, the deadline for application has been postponed. New application deadline: 23 April 2017.


The COTE Cluster of Excellence brings together nine laboratories of the University of Bordeaux, France and major national French research institutes involved in research on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems (INRA, CNRS, IFREMER and IRSTEA).

This year, it organises its fifth Summer School on the topic: "Weak signals and emerging issues in ecological transition" (Bordeaux, 03-07 July 2017). As part of the COTE training programme, the COTE Summer School gathers PhD students in environmental sciences, each specialised in different disciplines such as ecology, chemistry, biology and even sociology. Scheduled talks and field trips with international scientists will provide participants with a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach on integrative ecology.

We would appreciate if you could forward the COTE Summer School announcement to members of the Swedish Society Oikos and publish it online, in order to inform researchers and their potentially interested PhD students of this opportunity. All information regarding the programme, speakers and application terms is in the files attached to this email or available on the Summer School website (contact is the COTE managers team).
