The Principle

Speakers (MSc, PhD, or Post-Docs) give talks in english in front of their peers in an informal atmosphere (no auditorium). Talks can be about almost anything (planned or finished experiments, or even theoretical work) in the field of evolutionnary biology or ecology. A very high level of interaction between the speaker and the audience is expected. People are therefore highly encouraged to stop the speaker during the talk for questions or remarks.

Pros and Cons of the Interaction Seminars

Pros...

...for the speaker:

Get feedback on your project(s)
Exchange ideas with people from different fields

...for the audience:

Meet your colleagues, get to know their topics
Learn stuff in a relaxed way
Learn how to improve your own experimental designs by discussing those of others

PS: Obviously, there are no Cons!
