Floristikkurs, kärlväxter – Uppsala universitet
Vid Uppsala universitet finns nu åter igen chansen att gå en fördjupande floristikkurs under sommaren. Det är en fältkurs för dig som vill arbeta med naturvård eller inventering, men också för dig som ska bli lärare eller bara tycker det är roligt med kärlväxter. Under sex veckor (10 hp) reser vi runt i Uppland för att se och lära om så många arter och naturtyper som möjligt. I kursen ingår också ett moment med nyttoväxter och förvildade kulturväxter samt en veckas inventeringsprojekt. Kursen ger dig en stabil grund för arbete inom naturvård och växtinventering.

Marine Meiofauna Diversity – field course
Exploring microscopic animals that shape marine ecosystems, June 8-18, 2026 at Tjärnö Marine Laboratory on the Swedish west coast.
This course aims to give students a solid background in the systematics, taxonomy, diversity and ecology of marine meiofauna. The course will be given in conjunction with a workshop gathering an international group of 12 meiofauna researchers. The course will provide an excellent learning environment and discussion forum for advanced students of marine invertebrate taxonomy and systematics.
This Meio2 course will introduce students to the study of marine meiofauna. Fieldwork includes ship-based collection using a variety of equipment as well as littoral sampling. Laboratory exercises include extraction, isolation and identification of various meiofauna groups. Specialists will give lectures on meiofauna diversity and systematics, metabarcoding of meiofauna and other topics. Students will complete a small project during the course that will serve as the basis for the examination.
Priority target group: PhD students, master students, postdocs, researchers. Relevant background in biology is required. Priority will be given to students working with or intending to work with aspects of meiofauna biology.
Working language: English
Course credits: content corresponds to 4 ECTS
Fee: Admission to the course includes accommodation (food and lodging) at Tjärnö from 8-18 June. These costs are covered by SLU Artdatabanken. Travel costs are not covered. There is no course fee.
Application: Open until Feb 1 2026

Swedish Taxonomy Initiative and ForBio course: Nomenclature codes in biology
What to consider when naming and describing taxa
An in-person course directly following the Swedish Conference “Systematikdagarna” in late November 2024
A three day course (Wed, 20 Nov – Fri, 22 Nov) at Göteborg Natural History Museum, following Systematikdagarna (Mon, 18 Nov – Tue, 19 Nov) at Göteborg University, Sweden
Time and place: Nov. 20, 2024 9:00 AM – Nov. 22, 2024 4:30 PM, Göteborg University, Sweden
Course scope:
The course will present an overview of the different nomenclature codes with special focus on the botanical-mycological-phycological (ICNafp), zoological (ICZN) and prokaryotes (ICNP) codes. Sessions will include lectures and exercises, and the participants will learn what is required for a name and a description as well as for the scientific work itself to be code-compliant.
Learning outcomes. Participants will acquire an understanding of:
– which are the existing nomenclature codes.
– the difference between nomenclature and taxonomy.
– what is a ”scientific name” and what is meant by authorship.
– what is a ”scientific work”.
– rules of nomenclature with special focus on proposing new scientific names.
– the differences between botanical and zoological nomenclature.
– implications of names and their practical use in biology/management/conservation including examples of issues with misidentifications, misspellings, changed combinations, synonymy, ethics, etc.
Target group: MSc students, PhD students, postdocs, researchers, consultants, government officials, museum staff with relevant background in biology.
Course language: English.
Course schedule: Not yet available.
Course fee: Free.
Registration: Please register here before 15th September
Teachers: Thomas Pape (Natural History Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen), Micah Dunthorn (Natural History Museum, Oslo), Torbjörn Tyler (Lund University, Botanical collections).
Assignment and credits: The course is equivalent to 2 ECTS. Active participation is required for full credit. ForBio will provide certificates for those who attend the in-person section and successfully complete the course assignments.
