Join an international community of PhD candidates across Norway conducting research on, or related to, photosynthetic eukaryotes.
Our members have a wide range of research interests within plant and algae biology, bioproduction, and biotechnology.
Why become a member?
A wide range of courses all over Norway
The academic community researching photosynthetic eukaryotes in Norway is widespread and small at each university. By becoming a member, you join a network with a wide range of courses to choose from. We host 15 different courses for our PhD student members all over Norway.
Networking, seminars, and social events
You get to build your own network with other PhD candidates and scientists at other institutions, clusters, and companies within your field. We also help to expand your network through seminars and social events.
Activity and internship grants
If you are an active PhD student member you get 10 000 NOK each year you are active. This should be used to cover your costs of traveling to Photosyntech courses and workshops. If you want to do an internship in a relevant company or organization we can cover your travel and accommodations.
