četrtek, 12. maj 2022 Julija bo v Litvi organizirana poletna šola 'Forest Genetic Monitoring Training School' / Forest Genetic Monitoring Training School in Kaunas, Lithuania
Poletna šola 'Forest Genetic Monitoring Training School' bo organizirana v okviru akcije ConservePlants COST Akcije (CA18201), s podporo Mednarodne zveze gozdarskih raziskovalnih organizacij (IUFRO) in je namenjena usposabljanju podiplomskih študentov, ki delujejo na področju ohranjanja genov.
Potekala bo med 5. in 8. julijem 2022 v Kaunasu, Litva.
Genska raznovrstnost je končni vir biološke raznovrstnosti, ki je ključnega pomena za vitalnost gozdov in njihovo prilagajanje podnebnim spremembam, poleg tega pa genetska raznolikost zagotavlja odpornost na druge dejavnike stresa, kot so škodljivci in bolezni.
Kot del akcije ConservePlants COST (CA18201) si prizadevajo izboljšati ohranjanje rastlinskih genskih virov v Evropi. Eden od prvih korakov za dosego tega je začetek genetskega spremljanja in zlasti programov genetskega spremljanja gozdov, saj se velik del kopenske biotske raznovrstnosti skriva v gozdovih.
Prijavite se lahko do 15. maja preko spletnega obrazca.

The Forest Genetic Monitoring Training School will be organized within the framework of ConservePlants COST Action (CA18201), with the support of International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) and aims at training Postdoctoral fellows, Ph. D. candidates, early career scientists (M.Sc. Level or above), and practitioners (M.Sc. level or above) involved in genetic conservation actions.
Instructors: Prof. Filippos Aravanopoulos (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), Prof. Darius Danusevičius (Vytautas Magnus University), Dr. Darius Kavaliauskas (Bavarian Office for Forest Genetics), Prof. Om Rajora (University of New Brunswick)
Date: 5July – 8 July 2022
Place: Kaunas, Lithuania
Local organiser: Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, Institute of Forestry, Kaunas, Lithuania

The immediate objective of the Training School is to provide participants with knowledge about genetic and genomic aspects of Forest Genetic Monitoring and about how to start Forest Genetic Monitoring programs, including the selection, establishment and maintenance of plot; background information on indicators and verifiers; overview of fieldwork, laboratory and data analysis.
The mid-term objective is to foster collaborations, in research and training on FGM, and to establish a network of FGM Plots for different tree species.
Applicants should apply by 15 May using the form.
