Skrócony opis / Short description
This course provides with a broad background of the scientific study of Applied Zoology by studying the principles, theoretical and practical issues and introduce the scientific study of this discipline. It brings the conceptual knowledge in the related disciplines as agriculture, evolution and industry. The course considers also the various connectivity of zoology and its applications into industry, the processes generating and influencing the market, and the issues surrounding the conservation and sustainability.
This course considers patterns and processes in different scales. Along with the facts and theories outlined in the course, a few specific case studies and examples are shown.

Additional objectives is to provide a strong foundation and motivation for applying fundamental concepts of Zoology in basic research to meet global challenges and to give exposure to students by interaction with eminent scientists in various fields of Zoology, by attending invited lectures, workshops, seminars and symposia.
During the classes students work on the original biological texts, movies, quizzes aiming searching for information to the given questions. The work is done individually, in pairs and in groups. Students also participate in conversations. Short tests check the students' progress.
