Jülich Plant Science Seminars (JPSS)
This seminar series is hosted by IBG-2 on a monthly base. Internationally renowned experts from different fields within plant sciences and related disciplines are invited. We are aiming on the integration of regional plant sciences and therefore open JPSS also for external people to participate.
Venue: IBG-2 Plant Sciences, building 06.2, room 406 – large seminar room, 2nd floor
TITLE | SPEAKER | AFFILIATION | DATE | TIME | OUTLOOK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ETH Zurich | 02.12.2024 | 14:00 - 15:00 |
Furthermore, there is the option to add your email to the JPSS mailing list for information about next seminars. We are looking forward to your participation!
Keep in mind that external visitors have to be pre-registered to get access to the Forschungszentrum Jülich campus. For this, contact the IBG-2 secretary.
