in adaptive evolution and evolutionary adaptation during biological
invasions. The workshop will involve lectures, discussion groups,
research talks, lab work and students presentations.

Target audience: Advanced Master students, PhD students and Postdoctoral
research fellows, who are currently undertaking evolutionary research
related to biological adaptation.
