My name is Conny Scheffler, and I am the Program Coordinator for IBioS. This year, IBioS launched a Graduate Student Seminar series for students with an interest in social, ethical, and ecological issues and dilemmas surrounding biodiversity conservation, restoration, management, and governance.

The series aims to provide a community across faculties, disciplines, and labs. Students can present their research, meet faculty, and hear from partners in conservation about their career paths.

We would appreciate it if you could share them with the students in your departments so they can join and enjoy the series we have planned while meeting like-minded people.

Kindly

Conny
