The main goal of proposed project is a muhidisciplinar combination of education and research activities of both university and academy institution in close relation to their credentials in five fields (Botany, Ecology. Hydrobiology, Parasitology and Zoology) of PhD program Biology. This combination has to enable an active work of PhD students in research conducted by applicants' institution not only during their studies but also after the defense of PhD thesis. The fundamental educational aim is the extension of their theoretical knowledge in selected research field and the benefit from the share of fundamental information from other subjects related to the theme of student's PhD thesis. From methodological point of view is the proposed project fully supported by grant projects carried out by the applicant and co-applicant organizations. It will conclude the use of the most modern research methods from methodology of general ecology up to molecular-genetic analysis.
