This is not a Photosyntech course, but an e for a summer school course at SLU Alnarp through the EuroLeague of Life Science Universities.

From the course description:

“How can we protect crops sustainably in a changing world? Do you want to learn how shifting regulations and environmental challenges affect the plant protection strategies?

This course is aimed at early-stage PhD students and MSc students from different subject areas, including ecology, entomology, nematology, plant breeding, and molecular biology. The beginning of the course provides a solid grounding in plant health through lectures devoted to introducing the fundamental aspects of the subject.

During the rest of the course, you will learn how evolving legislation (such as pesticide restrictions and rules on transgenic plants) in combination with changes in the environment (such as resistance development and climate change) are affecting research and practice in plant protection. Join us to better understand the pressures on plant health, and how innovative, sustainable approaches can address them, and how these factors affect your field of study.”
