Informal Meetings in Quantitative Biology and Ecology
The advanced module of the Serrapilheira/ICTP-SAIFR Training Program in Quantitative Biology and Ecology will meet from September 12 – December 2, 2022 with 28 distinguished international researchers. ICTP-SAIFR will be organizing weekly informal meetings of Brazilian PhD students, postdocs and professors with these distinguished researchers in order to discuss common research interests which may lead to future collaborations.
The informal meetings will occur for a few hours in the late afternoon of one day during the visit of the researcher. The precise dates will be decided later, and if you would like to participate in one or more of these informal meetings, please fill out the application form below at least one month before the visit of the researcher. You can request to participate in up to 10 informal meetings, and you will be asked to order in priority from 1 to 10 the researchers whom you would like to meet.
