Discovery and science
Embark on a scientific journey into the heart of mountain ecology with ECOTUMN, a research school organized by doctoral students from the Grenoble Alpine Ecology Laboratory (LECA). This immersive program is designed for doctoral students interested in studying mountain ecosystems in the broadest sense.
If you want to understand the origins of biodiversity in the mountains, how it has evolved over time (climate variations, impacts of human activities), and how ecology can help implement environmental conservation policies, this themed week is for you.
The program includes a series of lectures given by French and European researchers specializing in fields as varied as paleoenvironments, functional ecology, ecotoxicology, and population genetics, with a primary focus on mountain ecosystems.
The week will end with a two-day field ecology excursion at an altitude of 2,100 meters at jardin du Lautaret, an exceptional botanical garden and a site for scientific experimentation and research support that is unique in France.
