NCBR PhD Info Day + ExPBio PhD Info Day

• 18th September 2025
• NCBR PhD Info Day: 14:00 – 15:00
• ExPBio PhD Info Day: 15:00 – 16:30
• NCBR PhD Info Day: University Campus Bohunice, B11/205
• ExPBio PhD Info Day: University Campus Bohunice, C02/121

The attendance is mandatory for all 1st to 4th-year PhD candidates enrolled in the following programmes: Life Sciences, Biomolecular Chemistry and Bioinformatics, Genomics and Proteomics, and Experimental Plant Biology. At the NCBR PhD Info Day, you will receive information relevant to the entire PhD process, including important procedures and regulations. At the ExPBio PhD Info Day, you will be informed about the specific requirements of the ExPBio PhD programme. Moreover, you can meet with your collegues and also ask anything the key persons for your study (guarantors, PhD coordinators etc.). For students in higher years, attendance is strongly recommended, as important updates regarding study completion and funding will be shared.

Workshop: Macro to Micro: Quantitative Plant Imaging Across Scales

Date: 22-25 February 2026

Location: Buxted Park, East Sussex, UK

Organisers: Mark Fricker, Alexander Johnson, Joseph McKenna and Markéta Šámalová

https://www.biologists.com/workshops/february-2026-2/

This Workshop will showcase and bring together interdisciplinary researchers utilising imaging across different spatial levels in plants. There will be sessions dedicated to: Whole plant and tissue scales (e.g. Macroscopes, automated growth chambers, biosensors); Cellular and Subcellar scales (e.g. organelle dynamics, organelle-organelle contact sites, super-resolution imaging); Ultrastructural scales (e.g. CryoEM, serial block face EM); Quantification (e.g. AnalyzER, machine-learning analysis).

Stable Isotope Course

https://csebr.cz/vse-cs/kurz-stabilnich-izotopu/

September 15 – 20, 2025, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice

The 20th edition of the Stable Isotope Course is organized by the Department of Experimental Plant Biology of the University of South Bohemia in cooperation with the Technical University of Munich. This course is intended for students who wish to gain knowledge and practical skills in the application of stable isotopes.

Participants will learn the basics of stable isotopes. The course will then present their application in plant ecology and physiology, for example in studying plant–water relationships, carbon and nitrogen cycles, and ecosystem interactions.

MendelNet – 32nd Annual Ph.D. Student Conference

https://af.mendelu.cz/konference-mendelnet/

MendelNet is an interdisciplinary student conference. There is no fee to sign up for any of the sessions. There will be a number of different sessions on offer covering a range of topics, including Plant Biology or Plant Production.

Plant Biology CS 2025 (PCBS 2025) and 18th Student Days in Plant Biology CS 2025

August 26 – 28, 2025 in Bratislava, Slovakia

https://csebr.cz/plant-biology-cs-2025/

Event is organized at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Comenius University in Bratislava in close cooperation with the Czech Society of Experimental Plant Biology (CSEPB or ČSEBR), the Slovak Botanical Society (SBS) and Plant Science and Biodiversity Centre of Slovak Academy of Sciences. The conference focuses on various topics related to experimental plant biology, including cell biology, photosynthesis, molecular plant evolution, genomics and proteomics, microscopy, phytohormones, microbiomes, and more.
