Målbeskrivelse
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 introduce the participants to a network of students, mostly from Scandinavia, working with similar subjects.
- to give students an insight in plant biology research in Scandinavia.
- to train students in presenting their research to an audience.
- to train students in how to organize a meeting.
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.
The summer school is financially supported by Scandinavian Plant Physiology Society and FOBI.
 
Litteraturhenvisninger
An abstract book will be provided to each participant.
