Dissemination Workshop 2013 Riga, Latvia | ![]() |
The first dissemination workshop on "Conifer sequencing: basic concepts in conifer genomics" was held in Riga, Latvia from 5th - 6th of Nov. 2013. It was an effort to interact with young researchers and scientist from EU countries not involved in this project, with special focus on the Baltic region.
The workshop provided a platform for exchanging ideas, views and plans for tree genomic research. It was attended by 26 people on day one and 27 on day two from 10 countries (plus two organisers, one facilitator and two speakers). The workshop was organized by BFW (Austrian ProCoGen partner), with the support of Dr. Dainis Rungis from LVMI (Silava), Latvia, whose contribution was vital to the success of this workshop. One Trans-Atlantic and three European speakers (from ProCoGen partner institutions) were invited to present at this workshop. Each was required to give two presentations of about 50 minutes each, one comprising of more theoretical material and the second highlighting recent developments, demonstrating research updates and applications.
