Inhalt The colloquium “Challenges in Plant Sciences” is a core class of the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center's PhD program and the MSc module. The colloquium introduces participants to the broad spectrum of plant sciences within the network. The topics encompass integrated knowledge on current plant research, ranging from the molecular level to the ecosystem level, and from basic to applied science while making use of the synergies between the different research groups within the PSC. The course offers the opportunity to approach interdisciplinary topics as challenges in the field of plant sciences.

During the first course day, each involved PSC lecturer gives a short talk as a general introduction to their research field highlighting current challenges and provides several publications. After the first day, the students work in groups to prepare a presentation chosen from a variety of proposed themes. They receive feedback from the tutor during the preparation phase. On the second day, the students present the topic they chose. Students gain knowledge on topics beyond their own research area while practising presentation and discussion skills.
Lernziele - Introduce PhD and Master students to the broad field of plant sciences
- Promote active participation and independent student work
- Enhance presentation and discussion skills
- Increase interactions among students and teachers
- Promote an interdisciplinary and integrative teaching program
