| Course Abstract | One of the key activities of AGREC is an annual research conference, where all PhD students are invited to present their projects and the most exciting results of their work. Presentations can be oral or as posters and they will release 2 ECTS points. The style of the presentations should aim at a non-specialist scientific audience, emphasizing the general aspects of on-going research. This would also help increasing networking with other PhD students and senior researchers. | ||||||||||
