Colloquium on biology

The Colloquium on biology is a joint activity organized by the Institutes of Biology of the University of Bonn and the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB), Museum Koenig Bonn.

Colleagues from german and international institutions are invited to present and discuss latest research results on evolution, biodiversity, behavior, genetics and other biological areas.

The colloqium take place every Friday at 13:15 pm, usually in the large lecture hall of the Institute of Zoology, Poppelsdorfer Schloss (Bonn) in presence. Some colloquia (announced) will only take place online (via Zoom).
