Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution

Welcome to the official (and only relevant) website of the Belgian Doctoral School of Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution (BEE) !

This website is dedicated to all PhD students who wish to connect with the Belgian research network in Biodiversity, Evolutionary Ecology and related fields. This is aso the place where we gather relevant information on trainings and conferences organised in Belgium ofr PhD students (and postdocs)  in Biodiversity, Evolutionary Ecology and related fields. This is useful to complete your doctoral degree.

This website should be considered as a tool to connect and gather relevant information, but by no means is meant to be complete. Interested ?  Check regularly this website.

If you have relevant information to provide regarding PhD-level trainings and conferences or exceptional events in Belgium in our field of research, please provide the information by email to caroline.nieberding@uclouvain.be (subject of email: BEE- your title) and I will transfer the information on this website, if relevant.

Part of the quality and usefulness of this website thus depends on each of you!

With my best wishes for successful and exciting research,

Caroline Nieberding
Head of the Doctoral School BEE,
Université catholique de Louvain
Belgium.
