Research Seminars take place every Tuesday during term time at 12:15 to 13:30. If not mentioned otherwise speakers are members of DUW Zoology.
The format of this seminar is variable. On most dates we will meet in person, at times it may be online (via zoom). Seminars in person take place in the small lecture hall of Zoology (Kleiner Hörsaal, Vesalgasse 1, 1st floor). Please check the table below about the format of specific dates. A zoom link (online events) will be communicated to all members of zoology and to everybody registered for the seminar in the week before the seminar starts.

The seminar is open to all members of zoology and all Master students. For students in a BSc program the succesful completion of the following first year biology lectures is required: Bau und Vielfalt der Tiere (10316-01), Evolutionsbiologie (10575-01) und Ökologie und Naturschutzbiologie (10234-01).
To obtain credit points for participation in this seminar, it is necessary to 1) attend the seminar regulary (sign the list) and 2) take part in at least 4 of the 5 post-seminar discussions (about 30 minutes). The seminars where the name of the speaker is printed in bold type and marked with * will have a post-seminar discussion. During these discussions the quality of the talk will be discussed (in the obligatory absense of the speaker). The speaker will later receive feedback from one participant of the discussion. The days with post-seminar discussions will be announced after most slots of the seminar are filled.
