Abstract
Registration form |
6th Utrecht PhD Summerschool on Environmental
Signaling
PhD summerschool, Utrecht University, the Netherlands, 22-24
August 2011
Registration
Environmental Biology (course code M10)
Registration fee: The registration fee for the program will be
EURO 250,= for Ph.D.
students of the Graduate School Experimental Plant Sciences and EURO
300,= for others (Ph.D. students, post-docs and
senior scientists).
The registration fee includes coffee/thee, lunch, and the dinner party on
Tuesday
evening in the botanical garden of the Utrecht University.
Registration: When you have registered before
June 1, 2011, your registration is
automatically accepted. Payment of the registration fee must be done before
15 June, 2011.
This year for the first time, we will make use of the
registration system of the Utrecht Summerschool organization.
Registration consists of a 2-step process:
- First you have to
create a user account at the Utrecht Summerschool by clicking here.
- After that you will receive an e-mail and you
will be able to register for the Summerschool. Please note that the name
of the Summerschool is Environmental Signaling (course code M10).
- this registration system is predominantly used
for Summerschool courses at the Bsc and MSc level so some of the fields
that you have to fill out seem somewhat odd (e.g. the request to fill
out the expected date of graduation). Just fill out the compulsory
fields and everything will be fine.
- If you encounter difficulties with the
registration, please e-mail
C.M.J.Pieterse@uu.nl.
Student Housing
Student housing is
arranged by the Utrecht Summerschool organization. Please follow their
instructions for pick up of keys etc. See also

Our society depends
on plants. Plants are the primary source for human and animal nutrition and
dominate the natural landscape. Plants provide us with a broad range of
commodities ranging from pharmaceuticals to building materials and offer an
environment for leisure and recreation. In many ways plants are essential
contributors to human well-being and health. Experimental Plant Sciences
study the fundamental life processes of plants at different organisational
levels, from molecules and cells to whole plants and ecosystems. The goal of
these studies is to understand how plants develop and how they function in,
and adapt to, continuously changing and often hostile environments.
At
the Institute of Environmental Biology, Utrecht University several research groups are
studying various aspects of plant biology, often using Arabidopsis
as a model. In this summerschool, an attractive program is provided
in which experts in the field will highlight different aspects of
environmental signaling in plants. Additional speakers will be selected
from submitted abstracts. Moreover, there will be ample opportunity for
discussions during the poster viewing sessions. The summerschool will not
only have
a focus on Arabidopsis research, also contributions based on other plant
species are very much welcomed.
The meeting is especially
attractive for Ph.D. students, but the program will also be of interest
for post-docs and senior scientist.
