Havel-Spree-Colloquium-2018

12

The Havel-Spree-Colloquium 2018 took place in our department. Over 50 PhD students from Berlin, Potsdam and the surrounding area met on the 13th April 2018 to discuss both scientific and practical problems and start to build professional networks within the next generation of scientists.

 

PhD students had the opportunity to presente their scientific work in short talks or used the poster session to introduce their PhD projects.

 

The keynote speaker Prof. Dr. Iris Finkemeier (WWU Münster) was invited by the organizing committee. She gave us insights into her research about novel functions of lysine deacetylases in Arabidopsis.
