We are happy to inform you that registration is now open for the 1st International Winter School on Evolution. Courses are open to international Master, PhD and Post-doctoral students in the exact, life, human and sociocultural evolutionary sciences.

About the Courses:

From Monday to Friday, parallel sessions are organized whereby visiting staff provide a 10-hour course (2 hours a day) on critical aspects of biological and sociocultural evolution. The courses are centered around the following modules:

Module 1: Macroevoluton and the Major Evolutionary Transitions
Courses are taught by Bruce Lieberman, Folmer Bokma, Eörs Szathmáry.

Courses are taught by William Croft, Mónica Tamariz, Daniel Dor.

All courses are taught at a level accessible to Master, PhD and post-doctoral students in the exact, life, human and sociocultural evolutionary sciences. Students of evolutionary biology, microbiology, paleontology, evolutionary linguistics, evolutionary anthropology, and philosophy of biology will especially benefit from these courses.

Students will be provided a mandatory reading list which will form the basis of lectures and discussions. There are neither examinations nor paper assignments.

Registration Fee:

350 euro for the whole week, regardless the number of courses you choose.

How to Enroll:

You can enroll for a specific module (therefore following a 30-hour course on the subject) or you may choose three courses of your specific interest.
