The school is intended for PhD students and early career-Post Docs and it is organized by Tomas Morosinotto, Giovanni Finazzi, Jeremy Harbinson, Michael Hippler, Anja Krieger-Liszkay, Johannes Messinger, Giorgio Perin.
The school is organized by the Italian Society for Pure and Applied Biophysics, the Venetian Institute of Sciences, Literature and Art and the German Botanical Society. The Venetian Institute will provide the venue of the meeting,
Lecturers will cover different aspects of photosynthesis, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinarity, and will stay for the whole duration of the school to give students the opportunity to interact with them informally, beyond the lecture.
The school will host 30* international students, selected on abstract covering their research interests. Several students’ presentations and two discussion sessions are also scheduled in the program to give the students the opportunity of discussing the details of their own work.
Participation (including accommodation, coffee breaks and social dinner): 400 €
(a discount for members of the SIBPA will be applied)
