Contenus

Some current research topics within the field of conservation biology will be further introduced in lectures, possibly guest lectures, and discussions in class. Each student then develops an own idea of a research project within these topics. After an introduction into funding agencies and the planning and writing of grant proposals, each student (or groups of two) write(s) an own proposal and present(s) it to the class. The proposals of colleagues will then be peer-reviewed after an introduction into peer-reviewing of grant proposals.

Class size is limited to 10 students.
