Date: 1st October 2025
Time: 16:00-18:00
Location: Learning centre (Oppimiskeskus) 1401, Biocentre 1, Viikinkaari 9
Doctoral researchers and post-docs from ViPS research groups will present their projects to students from the Master's Programmes in Integrative Plant Sciences, 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 be in the form of laptop slides or paper posters.
Refreshments served.
