The Guatiguará Technology Park and the School of Biology at the Industrial University of Santander (UIS), in collaboration with the Colombian Agricultural Research Corporation – Agrosavia, are calling on students, graduates, and professionals to participate in the International Symposium on Plant Stress: Foundations for the development of efficient, sustainable, and climate-resilient production systems, which will take place from September 15 to 17 at UIS Guatiguará.
This academic meeting, a first in the region, aims to train attendees in the understanding, measurement, and management of plant stress induced by climate change, contributing to the development of more sustainable and resilient agriculture that is more closely connected to international science.
Who is it aimed at?
The event is designed for undergraduate and graduate students in biology, agronomy, forestry engineering, environmental engineering, and related fields, as well as professionals in the agricultural, biological, and environmental sectors interested in updating their knowledge with the latest tools and approaches to plant stress.
Four great reasons to participate
- International connection. Five international experts from Brazil, the United Kingdom, Ecuador, and the United States will participate, along with researchers from the UIS, the National University of Colombia in Medellín, the University of Córdoba, the University of the Amazon, and Agrosavia.
- Global scientific community. The symposium will be a networking space for creating interdisciplinary and transnational networks that strengthen research in the region.
- Agricultural impact. Participants will acquire conceptual and methodological tools to address the challenges of agriculture in the context of climate change, promoting efficiency and productive sustainability.
- Cutting-edge practical training. Two specialized mini-courses will be offered:
Gas exchange techniques and chlorophyll fluorescence as tools for studying plant physiology. Registration can be done here: https://www.agrosavia.co/umbraco/surface/eventos/preinscripcion?idEven=18541
Laboratory techniques and experimental applications for the analysis of biotic stress in plants. Register here: https://www.agrosavia.co/umbraco/surface/eventos/preinscripcion?idEven=18542
