The seminar focuses on current topics in plant biotechnology. The students will independently devise a research project in the field of molecular plant biotechnology. They learn how to prepare a grant application. Inspired by the topics of the accompanying lecture, the participants will develop a research program and write a virtual proposal following the guidelines of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The participants will present their research projects and will defend them in a controversial discussion with the other attendees who act as the reviewers of the proposal. close
