Station Biologique de RoscoffGeneral information
The aim is to present and discuss modern experimental and scientific approaches used for basic and applied research on marine organisms. The wildlife resources of the Roscoff Biological Station will be available for observation and Course experimentation by the students. Students will be actively involved in practical lab work. They will also participate to discussions and debates on selected topics from newly published scientific articles (journal club). Download the flyer.
