NSCPHD1100 SPPS Summer School in Plant Biology
Volume 2013/2014
Content
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 will open in January 2014.

Learning Outcome
The purpose of the summer school is
- to give participating students an insight into 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 you own research at the conference
