Dear colleagues,

Biology Thursday seminar continues on 18th Nov at 12:15 (online, link below) with Prof. Helena Freitas from the Centre for Functional Ecology, Univ. of Coimbra, Portugal, giving an overview on their Centre and their national and international projects: The Centre for Functional Ecology – Science for People & the Planet (CFE) is a research unit hosted by the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Coimbra, in Portugal. It brings together researchers with multidisciplinary interests in ecology related subjects, seeking to produce knowledge on global ecology and on ecosystem functioning, from microorganisms, plants, and fauna biodiversity to the ecological complexity of their interactions at the community, ecosystem, and evolutionary level. Also, there is a strong commitment to knowledge transfer to the public and to the productive sector, both locally and nationally, with particular emphasis on the sustainability of the territories and its communities. Prof. Freitas is the coordinator of the Centre, and holds the UNESCO Chair in Biodiversity and Conservation for Sustainable Development at Univ. Coimbra. She has been involved in numerous large conservation programs and consortia, and held various positions of trust in international conservation and ecology organizations – this will certainly be a talk from the very center of where biologists apply their knowledge into crucial topics!

The talk will be chaired by Anna-Maria Pirttilä.

See you online on Thursday, Heikki
