Below, upcoming courses in the field of ecology are shown. Besides the courses that are directly related to ecology, methodological courses as well as skills and competence courses relevant for ecologists are shown. Please note that the courses listed are planned and, except for those with a fixed date, the time frame in which the course may be given can change. The courses are organised by various parties:
- Experimental Plant Sciences (EPS)
- Production Ecology and Resource Conservation (PE&RC)
- Research School Ecology and Evolution (RSEE)
- Research School for Socio-Economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment (SENSE)
- Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW)
Note: If you would want more information or if you know of a course that is not yet listed, please contact Lennart Suselbeek (lennart.suselbeek@wur.nl) or Claudius van de Vijver (Claudius.vandeVijver@wur.nl).
Upcoming ecology courses will follow when new dates are available

Introduction to R and R Studio (online)
Tuesday 6, Friday 9, Tuesday 13 and Friday 16 April 2021The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to R and R Studio. It introduces the participants to R language syntax, to enable them to write their own R code. They will also learn about R data-types and data-structures, and they will be taught how to explore the data and produce plots. The course will be a combination of lectures and practicals.

The Art of Modelling
Monday 30 August - Friday 10 September 2021Modelling is a crucial part of today's science. Among other things, models are used for assessing sensitivity of systems to disturbances or changes in external factors, and for predictions of future system states. This course provides an introduction to modelling with a focus on systems analysis using dynamic simulation models.

Spatial Sampling
Monday 20 - Thursday 23 September 2021In this course, some of the concepts that underlie the optimization of spatial sampling will be introduced. These include methods to ensure good spatial coverage by a sample, methods to select an optimal grid spacing for geostatistical mapping and complex methods of combinatorial optimization. The course takes place in hotel "De Bosrand" in Ede and includes accommodation.
