Notice : the dissertation will be done in a structure external to the University of Liège (public services, companies, NGO) and will relate to themes applied in the field of nature conservation. The related placement will be covered by an ad hoc agreement and led by an external placement supervisor. If necessary, students can do their placement in another country but the subject must still relate to subjects associated with continental ecosystems.
