Continuing education and Summer schools

Eco&Sols regularly organises professional development courses as well as masterclasses for research scientists. These are seminars on a given theme, that may last for one to several weeks and which bring together groups of young, dedicated research scientists from various research units.

Target audience

Students and research scientists

Aims

Given the current interest in evaluating the effects of environmental and climate change and the study of populations subject to variations in resources, it seems important to look at consumer-resource models, their foundations and analysis. This course sets out

  • To provide an introduction to standard models, together with discussion on their hypotheses
  • To present extensions to these models and recent development, driven by aspects of research into agronomy and the environment.

The course starts from “simple” models, looking at their foundations and showing the contribution from mathematical tools and numerical simulations in order to explain or predict ecological and biological “messages”

Date
