Seminars in Ecology and Evolution (SEE)
Seminars in Ecology and Evolution (SEE) is a seminar series designed to allow students and staff members to hear about research going on in the universities of Finland and occasionally other countries. Invited speakers present their own research and are available for discussions after their presentations.
Seminars are hosted jointly by University of Turku (Genetics and Ecology) and Åbo Akademi. If you have questions or wish to arrange a time to chat with the speakers, contact
