Welcome

The University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), GKVK, in Bangalore is a distinguished University in its field. In an on-going effort to recruit students from abroad to UPSC and in order for foreign students to get well trained in state-of-the art plant biology, UPSC and three Departments from UAS have started discussion within a grant from the Linneus-Palme exchange program to establish future collaborations. Within this program, two professors and Head of Departments from UAS, will visit UPSC October 28 - 30 to start the discussion about a possible future collaboration.

 

They will give lectures about their University and activities at their Departments at UAS Wednesday October 28, between 9 -12, in KB4C10.

Place P-O Bäckströms sal, SLU

Welcome to a presentation of the research within the strategic initiative "Trees and Crops for the Future (TC4F), involving SLU, UmU and Skogforsk in close collaboration with Berzelii Centre for Forest biotechnology, Future Forests, The Spruce Genome Project, ICON and others. It is a large initiative that started in 2010 with a budget exceeding 20 MSEK/year.

The meeting takes place January 24, in P-O Bäckströms sal, at the Faculty of Forest Sciences in Umeå, between 10- ca 16. Researchers within the different Themes dealing with aspects of trees and forests will present the projects funded by the program and the plans for the future.

You are all most welcome, a preliminary program is presented below.
