Experimental work proposed in the STSM application has to have a clear link to one of the >> WORKGROUPS of COST FA1306. Proposals might cover analyses in a wide range of plant species and biological questions as related to the applicants scientific background or STSM >> project proposals. Although from a methodological point of view it is requested that experiments in frame of COST FA1306 STSMs comprise In the context of the significance for future bioeconomy, WG3 applications aiming at the association/integration of multiple omics areas (including plant phenotyping) in (crop) plant research are preferred. You are interested in learning methods related to the WGs of Action FA1306? You want to be part of medium to large-scale phenotyping experiments and gain experience in labs with phenotyping expertise? Then check the |
