Lectures and seminars

Our lecture and seminar series cover a wide range of topics in plant genetics and crop plant research. Formats such as the "Gatersleben Lecture" on overarching topics, the "Vavilov Seminar" on special questions of plant genetic resources, the "Watermann Seminar" on topics of bioinformatics and modelling or the "Cell Biology Seminar" are established formats with lecturers from all over the world. In addition to IPK staff, these formats are also open to guest students from our partner institutions.
