The students participate in a scientific conference organised exclusively for PhD students. They present their own research, and in addition internationally renowned scientists are invited as speakers and present a broad overview of key topics in molecular plant biology, plant physiology and plant biotechnology.
The conference is hosted by Scandinavian Plant Physiology Society (SPPS).

The summer school is organized by the PhD students themselves. This includes financial aspects, logistics of travel, lodging and invitation of speakers. The Scandinavian countries alternate in hosting the summer school. Registration for the conference is expected to open at the end of 2015. However, you can sign up for the course before by contacting the course responsible.

Learning Outcome

 

 

The purpose of the summer school is
- to give participating students an insight in new developments in plant physiology, plant molecular biology and plant biotechnology.
- to give students an insight in plant biology research in Scandinavia.
- to introduce the participants to a network of students, mostly from Scandinavia, working with similar subjects.
- Stengthening this network by communicating your own research at the conference

 

 

Literature

 

 

An abstract book will be provided to each participant.
