Plant Ecology Research Seminar

I run a seminar where plant ecologists get together to discuss topical issues of plant ecology. Starting from May 2011 the sessions are organized during the spring term and the autumn term as needed, that is whenever there is somebody wishing to give a talk. The sessions are held in Viikki Campus, usually in Biocenter 3, the Auditorium and time will be announced for each seminar separately.

Anyone interested in plant ecology is welcome to the seminar. Plant ecology is understood here in a wide sense, including also closely related disciplines such as plant ecophysiology, plant geography and ecosystem ecology. The seminars are given in Finnish, Swedish, or English, whatever each speaker prefers (the language is indicated by the title of the presentation).

If you want to join the mailing list of the seminar then send an email message to the address majordomoAThelsinki.fi. Write in the body of the message the following text, but replace the email address with your own address:
subscribe pers-seminar heikki.hanninenAThelsinki.fi
Do not write anything else in the message, nor in the subject line. If you later do not want to receive the messages any more, then send to the same address the following message, but replace again the email address with your own address:
unsubscribe pers-seminar heikki.hanninenAThelsinki.fi

Anybody interested to give a talk, please contact by email Heikki Hänninen (heikki.hanninenAThelsinki.fi).
