Meetings, Seminars & Workshops

First announcement of this symposium on Tuesday 8 May at the Orion building in Wageningen.

This conference will examine the latest NGS, ‘omic’ and gene editing technologies being used for progressing plant-based research, as well other gene-focused aspects of plant science.

This event is being curated by the Wageningen PhD Council, with an audience of about 150 PhD students and faculty members in Wageningen. Goal is to bring together early career researchers from across all disciplines to give idea-focused talks that foster learning, inspiration, and wonder – and eventually, provoke conversations that matter.

With regard to the defence of Thomas Lameris, a symposium is organized on 17 May regarding climate warming in the Arctic, and how this will affect migratory birds breeding in the Arctic.

This event can be of interest to animal health and public health professionals who deal with multi-host diseases in complex ecological systems. The symposium is scheduled on 22 May, the workshop on 23 and 24 May.

The workshop 'Exploring opportunities for Citizen Science in Environmental Monitoring and Food Security applications’ precedes the PhD thesis defense of Qijun Jiang.

Since 2014 Wageningen Graduate Schools (WGS) organises a one-day event for PhD candidates consisting of a diverse set of workshops that deal with all sorts of elements important for PhDs. These workshops are generally set up as teasers that give insight into more elaborate courses and workshops organised by Wageningen Graduate Schools.

In the framework of the EU-Whealbi project, two workshops are organised: 1) Crop Management and Development of Innovative Cropping Systems - 29 - 30 May 2018 and 2) Wheat and Barley Pre-breeding - 30 - 31 May 2018 in Cambridge.

The Latsis Symposium 2018 brings together leading scientists and practitioners to address the ecological, economic, and societal challenges for scaling-up forest restoration. The symposium is motivated by the challenge of delivering an effective global response to two major environmental threats, climate change and forest degradation through restoration.

Tropentag is an annual, international conference on food security, natural resource management and rural development in the tropics (sensu lato). It is a development-oriented and interdisciplinary conference. It addresses issues of resource management, environment, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food, nutrition and related sciences in the context of rural development, sustainable resource use and poverty alleviation worldwide.

Sfécologie (the French Ecological Society's International Conference) will take place from 22 - 25 October 2018 at the historic Couvent des Jacobins in the old part of the city of Rennes.
