21.-25. November 2022: International Conference on Ecological Science in Metz “Ecology and Evolution. New perspectives and societal challenges”
As part of the International Conference on Ecological Science SystemLink PhD students were organising a workshop on the topic “Transfer of anthropogenic STRESS from aquatic to terrestrial ecosystems – PERSPECTIVES FROM YOUNG RESEARCHERS”
22 July 2022: Sara Kolbenschlag and Nina Röder won a poster prize at the Young Researchers Symposium in Kaiserslautern.
In the course of the fusion of the TU Kaiserslautern and the University of Landau, young scientists from the University of Koblenz-Landau, Landau Campus, were allowed to participate in the symposium for the first time. Although the young scientists from the Landau Campus were outnumbered by the young researchers from Kaiserslautern, they were able to bring home two of the highly coveted prizes for scientific posters. Sara Kolbenschlag won the 1st prize and Nina Röder the 3rd prize. We congratulate them on their success!

Virtual Research Workshop on aquatic-Terrestrial linkage. On 28 and 29 January 2021, SystemLink held the Virtual Research Workshop on anthropogenic alterations of aquatic-terrestrial linkages. The event was attended by 11 guest speakers working on different aspects related to SystemLink ‘s research field. About 150 people registered for this workshop – the second organized by SystemLink – that aimed to promote both scientific exchange and enable subject-specific and social networking especially during this challenging time. In this workshop, students from related fields had the opportunity to gain detailed insight into the research topics of SystemLink and different institutions around the world, as well as the possibility to get in contact with associated persons. Here you can access the conferences videos. |
