Announcements

  • Introduction, general information about the course (2010)   (PDF)

  • Course participant's equipment list

  • Edition 2010 completed successfully! All course participants returned home in good health; for the impressions better ask the participants.

  • Students who withdraw from the course are kindly requested to inform me about their decision as soon as possible to let me accept next candidates from the waiting list.

  • Candidates have to register for the course personally with me (Inst. Env. Sci., room 2.1.2). Registering at USOS is not sufficient and does not guarantee a place on the course! You can still register for the 2012 course.

  • Prerequisites: WBNZ-849 or  WBNZ-800!

  • Important information about the costs: Although there is no course fee, students have to cover their travel and accommodation costs. The return flight from Poland to Venezuela costs usually ca. 4000 PLN (although much cheaper airfares happen), and the accommodation is ca. 500 USD (covers all lodging and food during the course). So far, all course participants tell that the course is worth the effort!

Other options to study tropical ecology and biology: tropical biology courses organized by Tropical Biology Association. The courses take place in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Madagascar and  Borneo.

The Institute of Environmental Sciences is the TBA member, and our students are eligible for significantly reduced course fees!
