Lectures & Seminars

Suche

For the "ECROPS Science Lectures" leading international scientists from different research areas are invited to the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.

Where? Biologikum, Lecture hall C
When? Thursday, 5:15 p.m.

The "ECROPS Public Lectures" are meant for interested laymen and will be presented in a way that makes science and "green gene technology" easily understandable. They will focus on current topics and problems from different research areas, inform the audience about the risks and chances of modern scientific applications and offer the opportunity to discuss questions with experts from relevant research areas.
