Announcements

The annual conference of PhD students of the Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences will be held in the aula of EMÜ (Kreutzwaldi 1a) on November 17th 2016.

Each presentation duration will be 15 minutes and we will also spare an additional time (5 minutes) for some questions from the floor. Session chairs will be very strict regarding the duration of presentations so speakers are requested to adjust to their time. In addition, poster presentations of PhD students are welcome (also those used in other conferences are suitable).

Make sure you register yourself and your poster presentations here:
