Our department has become a member of the Tropical Biology Association. The membership gives our students the opportunity to participate in tropical ecology courses organized by the Society (in Uganda for example) and to receive discounts on participation fees. 
The Society also organizes lectures and online courses. We encourage you to check out the Society's website: https://tropical-biology.org/new-specialist-courses/

An international team of scientists, which also includes researchers from the University of Gdańsk - Professor Jacek Szwedo and Błażej Bojarski from the Laboratory of Evolutionary Entomology and Museum of Amber Inclusions, has recently described more species of ants from Miocene Ethiopian amber, the largest collection of which is housed in the Museum of Amber Inclusions at the University of Gdańsk. Thanks to this research, our collection has been enriched with more type specimens representing extinct ants.

Within the framework of the project "European University of the Seas - SEA-EU" the Research Potential Database and the Shared Infrastructure Database have been developed. They are available at https://sea-eu.pl/.

We encourage you to use the available information, as well as to complete them with data on research teams and resources you would like to make available to partners. The purpose of the platform is, among others, to promote teams and to facilitate mutual contacts.

We are pleased to announce that the second call for applications for the "UG Visiting professors" competition was launched on 17 January. The program aims to strengthen the didactic and scientific potential and to develop the quality of education of the University students by inviting outstanding scientists as visiting professors from renowned foreign centres.

The Chair of the Scientific Council of Biological Sciences and the Doctoral Committee of the Scientific Council of Biological Sciences of the University of Gdańsk kindly notify that on 15 October 2021 at 10:00 a.m. in Gdańsk, 59 Wita Stwosza Street, Auditorium Biologicum (C/105), a public defence will take place of the doctoral dissertation of
