The Ecology and Ecosystem Management (EEM) Seminar Series is hosted by the Ecosystem Management group of Prof. Jaboury Ghazoul at the ETH Zurich.
A variety of speakers from the ETH Zurich and international universities give talks on topics ranging from management aspect, applied ecology to basic research.
The Seminar Series is open to all members of the Environmental Sciences Department and other interested people!
Suggestions for potential speakers are welcome.
