We will announce changes in schedule, special events and anything that affects the daily work on the discussion forum. Please check this site regularly.


Since the course will be optimized to student's needs, we ask you to select 10 themes out of the ones listed under "Design your Course" which are of interest to you and submit them to us on the prepared inscription form. We will then make the final program from the most frequently selected themes.

Lecture notes, papers for discussions, later also your course reports and exam exercises will become accessible during the course via OLAT. In order to have access to the information on OLAT you need to sign up for “Evolution and Ecology of Microorganisms 2003/2004”.
