Through a series of three summer schools (2015 to 2017), the experts from Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany) and University of Parakou (Benin) expect to train West African students on various mycological aspects.
The course will take place at the University of Parakou, Benin, West Africa, from 25 July to 12 August 2016.
Deadline to apply is 15 May 2016.
The course is scheduled in three phases:
For the 2016 edition, they will select German, West and Central African students and junior scientists in the field of forest ecology, botany, mycology, biodiversity measure and conservation and Agronomy. We will give priority to PhD students who are more likely to perpetuate mycological research and teaching at their home institution.
A total of 25 students will be selected for the 2016 summer school. Interested participants are invited to extend their stay at the Laboratory of Ecology, Botany and Plant Biology (LEB, UP, Benin) in order to perform mycological activities they can not complete at their home institution.
