ATB, Nov 10-11, 2014
The seminar will be held in the framework of the doctoral training programm of the Competence Network Horticulture (WeGa PhD).
The course will be a mixture of short lectures, measurements and analyses of spectra and fluorescence images, data evaluation and interpretation of results.
Topics are:
• Introductions into basics of absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, and chlorophyll fluorescence analysis
• Elaboration of structures of absorption and fluorescence spectra by means of model systems

With WeGa PhD a complementary and inter-site graduate program is offered to doctoral students in the Competence Network Horticulture (WeGa). The large number of research institutions linked in WeGa and their diverse research areas are not only an ideal platform for networking. The young scientists can develop their scientific skills within the framework of customized course offerings beyond the specific research questions of their own projects.
The focus of the research of the Competence Network Horticulture (WeGa) is the product and production safety of high-intensity crop production, especially the prevention of product defects and optimization of processes. The AgroCluster WeGa is one of five competence networks that are supported for reinforcement and bundling of agricultural and food research comptencies in the context of the high-tech strategy of the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). It currently unites 57 participating partners from science and research, economy (from production to processing) and trade.
Speaker of the Competence Network WeGa is ATB scientist Dr. Martin Geyer.
