14–20 June 2026 | University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty
We invite you to join the 1. Summer School “Metabolic Response of Horticultural Plants to Stress Factors,” designed for PhD students and early-stage researchers working in the fields of horticulture, agronomy, biology, biotechnology, food science, and related life sciences.
The program offers 3 ECTS credits and provides intensive training in plant metabolomics, with a focus on the physiological responses of plants to environmental stress factors and crop quality.
Organized within the ERA Chair Foodomics project, the summer school brings together experts in horticulture, plant physiology, metabolomics, analytical chemistry, and data interpretation.
The program includes:
-
Hands-on training in plant metabolomics
-
Familiarization with advanced analytical techniques (HPLC, LC-HRMS, GC-MS)
-
Investigation of the effects of salinity on basil and drought stress on blueberries
-
The preparation and interpretation of complex metabolomic data
-
Earning 3 ECTS credits
-
Opportunities for international networking and collaboration with researchers and fellow PhD students
Applications are open now!
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain new knowledge and experience in plant metabolism research.
Applications will be accepted until all available spots are filled.
The summer school is free of charge (including lunch), as it is funded by the ERA Chair Foodomics project.
