Seminars and internal activities

CREAF is a dynamic and proactive center with numerous scientific activities for sharing and learning. Don’t miss the CREAFTalks, Thematic Vermuts, or Journal Clubs! 

Seminaris i activitats internes
Creaftalks 2024-25

At CREAF, we organize an annual program of biweekly, short seminars showcasing global Ecology research and enhancing the relationship between research centers. Seminars take place on Thursdays at 12:00 pm and last 45 minutes, with ample time for questions and discussion afterward.

The seminars combine online and onsite formats (CREAF, Sala Graus II, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain), but in all cases, the talks are streamed live (not recorded), so they can be followed online.

Other activities

CREAF’s Themed Vermuts:

These are internal symposiums where CREAF staff share their research in brief presentations followed by a Q&A session with colleagues. Each presentation lasts 5 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of discussion. Vermuts provide an opportunity to meet in person, stay updated on CREAF's research, and discuss a specific topic over a casual gathering.

The Journal Club

Logo Journal Club

The Journal Club is a regular gathering where members come together to discuss recently published academic papers, articles, or research findings. It provides a platform for intellectual exchange, collaboration, and professional development within the research community. Before each meeting, members select a research article related to their area of interest. During the session, one member presents a summary of the chosen paper, highlighting its key findings, methodology, and implications.
