Together with colleagues from Plant Science Group (PSG), Agrotechnology and Food Science Group (AFSG), Environmental Science Group (ESG), and the Jan IngenHousz Institute (JII) we established a seminar and discussion group on photosynthesis: Sharing Knowledge in Photosynthesis Research (SKiPR). In this group we share knowledge on all things photosynthesis and stimulate collaborations and expand our research networks (and have some mild fun if possible, too). The group is aimed at researchers working on all forms of - or related to - photosynthesis research, from MSc student to professor, as well as those working in the applied research.

What? The “Sharing Knowledge in Photosynthesis Research (SKiPR)” meetings are organized monthly! SKiPR sessions combine talks on novel photosynthesis research and the possibility to socialize with fellow photosynthesis-minded people.

For who? Anyone at WUR, and beyond, who is interested in photosynthesis research.

Speakers? They are announced via the SKiPR mailing list and via the SKiPR Teams channel.

When? We are planning to meet roughly once per month. Often the scientific talks will be between 16:00 and 17:00, with drinks afterwards.

Where? Talks will take place in the meeting room of the newly finished NPEC climate chamber building (see white arrow in the picture below).

If you are interested, please send us an email at SKIPR@wur.nl">mailto:SKIPR@wur.nl" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">SKIPR@wur.nl and we will put you on our mailing list and Teams channel. We will contact you to remind you of upcoming SKiPR meetings. If you know someone who might be interested, please let them know.

We hope to see you all there!
