Serie
BioREPS online seminar series
The BioREPS Online Seminar Series is a biannual, open-access mini-symposium focusing on interdisciplinary research related to biodiversity and cultural diversity in Suriname. The series brings together researchers and students from around the world to share knowledge and foster collaboration.
Frequency
This open access international mini-symposium is held twice a year by the core staff of the Biodiversity Research & Education Program Suriname (BioREPS) of the Anton de Kom University of Suriname (AdeKUS) and Leiden University.
Format of the seminar
Four speakers hold a 20-25 minute presentation, followed by a 5-10 minute Q&A session. The topics often cover interdisciplinary research related to conservation of biodiversity and cultural diversity in and around Suriname. Speaker may come from Suriname, the Netherlands, or other parts of the world.
Our aim
The aim of the BioREPS Online Seminar Series is to share information and foster collaboration among members of an international network of scientists worldwide with an interest in research and the protection of nature and traditional culture in Suriname. The series also seeks to disseminate information about recent studies beyond academic partners and to engage Surinamese and other students in scientific discussions. All speakers are encouraged to mention potential internships and other funded opportunities.
