Guest Lecture Series

Each year the RTG invites well known scholars in the field of forest sciences, biology and statistics for guest lectures.
Some of our guest lecture series is organized in cooperation with RTG 2123 "Conservation of Forest Biodiversity in Multiple-Use Landscapes of Central Europe" in Freiburg and will take place in an online format via zoom.

The next guest lecture will be given by Prof. Olle Anderbrant on July 4, 2024 at 2 pm on "Pheromones as part of integrated pest management (IPM) in forestry and agriculture".

For our previous guest lectures see the list in the right column.




In addition, EnriCo held 2 mini conferences:
