Oberseminar – “Current Topics in Biodiversity Research” (ENG)
We would like to invite all students of University of Potsdam and members of ecological working groups of University of Potsdam to join our Weekly seminar in which we invite distinguished researchers to present their work to our group and students and to facilitate a discussion about shared interests. The seminar is running each Monday at 2:15 pm during the semester in a hybrid format. It is held in presence at Maulbeerallee 2a and It is also streamed live on Zoom.

Excursions (ENG/DE)
The regularly held excursions give students the opportunity to get valuable insight into different highlights of local plant diversity and habitats. Each one is lead by an expert in the field who shares their scientific and botanical expertise to allow the students to get a deeper understanding of the vegetation around us. Please note that the language of instruction for most of the excursions will be German.
If you are interested, please send an email to Ms. Ines Schneider (exkursion-biodiv@uni-potsdam.de) with the date and title of the excursion you would like to take part in. This gives us an overview of the number of expected participants and allows us to create a list of those who can attend and also a replacement list.
Please note that a maximum of 20 persons can take part per excursion and (out of fairness to your fellow students) only register for excursions that you will actually attend! A private transfer of excursion places is not possible and you have to confirm your participation again by email about one week before the date.
The half-day or full-day botanical excursions (usually offered on Saturdays or Sundays) in WiSe 2024/2025 are listed below. They turn to a. to students in the Bachelor of Biosciences, Bachelor of Teaching and the corresponding Master's courses, but are also open to students of other disciplines. The respective meeting point including time is given in the second line.
Please note: Dont't ask the excursion leaders for an extra seat on the list! Because it's not fair for the students on the replacement list!!!
