ViPS Science Fair 2017
ViPS research groups present their work
Date: 10th October 2017
Time: 16:00-18:00
Location: Viikki A building foyer, Latokartanonkaari 9
Doctoral candidates and post-docs from ViPS research groups will present their projects to students from the Master's Programmes in Plant Biology, Agricultural Sciences & Forest Sciences. The aim is to gain an understanding of the plant biology research being carried out at the University of Helsinki and to explore the possibility of joining a research group for a short period of practical training.
Presentations will mainly be in the form of laptop slides, but there is limited space for a few posters.
ALL welcome!
