The PEPG (special interest group of the SEB & BES) has re-introduced the Ecophysiology Field Techniques workshop providing a unique opportunity for MSc, PhD students and early career Post-Docs to gain hands-on experience and training in plant physiology techniques in both field and laboratory environments.

The workshop will take place at the Quinta de São Pedro Study Centre located 10 km south of Lisbon on the Setúbal peninsula.

Internationally renowned scientists will explain and demonstrate key techniques:       

Photosynthesis; including gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, isotope partitioning       

Plant water relations; including hydraulic conductance, thermal imaging

Plant 'omic' techniques; including environmental metabolomics, transcriptomics       

Whole plant physiology; including growth, imaging, modelling

Speakers will include:  Prof S Long, Dr E Ainsworth, Dr C Bernacchi, Dr A Leakey (Illinois); Prof H Griffiths, Dr M Davey (Cambridge); Prof L Sack (UCLA); Prof M Mencuccini (Edinburgh); Dr J Flexas (Mallorca); Dr E Murchie (Nottingham); Prof G. Taylor (Southampton); Dr  C Osborne (Sheffield); Dr R Whalley (Rothamsted), Dr T Lawson (Essex); Prof. J. Pereira, Prof M Chaves, Dr M Costa (Lisbon); Prof. B. Genty (CNRS/CEA, Cadarache France).  

This meeting will provide an unrivalled opportunity for manufacturers to introduce their latest equipment and provide hands-on training. Through a combination of formal lectures and practical sessions this workshop will provide an invaluable introduction for early stage researchers.
