SUMMARY:EPS Theme 1 Symposium “Developmental Biology of Plants” - Nov 2026
DESCRIPTION:EPS Theme 1 Symposium “Developmental Biology of Plants” \n\nJoin the EPS Theme 1 symposium and learn more about the molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive plant development from the initial zygote to full maturity. Growth progresses from an embryonic stage within the seed to post-embryonic development\, in which primary and secondary meristems continuously generate new cells that specialize as roots\, stems\, leaves\, and flowers. Ultimately\, this complex process of tissue and organ formation is regulated by a combination of inherited genetic information\, internal chemical signals like growth regulators\, and external environmental factors such as light\, temperature\, and nutrient availability.\n\n\nDate: 19 November 2026 \nTime: 09:00-17:30 \nLocation: Ship van Blaauw \nGeneraal Foulkesweg 72\, \nRegistration: open \nKeynotes:  \n \nSabrina Sabatini\, University of Rome\, Italy \n\nBy exploiting the root apical meristem of Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system\, the aim of this group is to unveil the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of the dynamic equilibrium between cell division and cell differentiation.\n\nMonica Garcia Gomez\, Utrecht University\, The Netherlands \nMonica is assistant Professor affiliated with the Theoretical Biology and Bioinformatics (IBB) and the Experimental and Computational Plant Development (IEB) groups. This combined position enables her research group to employ an integrative computational-experimental approach to delve deeper into the study of plant development. Specifically\, she models plant responses to unfavorable temperature and water conditions (as part of the PlantXR programme)\, and the self-organization of a new stem cell niche during root regeneration. \nProgramme: \n09:30 – 10:00 Registration and coffee \n10:00 – 10:10 Welcome by Viola Willemsen \n10:10 – 10:50 Keynote: Sabrina Sabatini\, University of Rome\, Italy\, \n10:50 – 11:15 Zheng Yun\, Plant Breeding\, Wageningen University & Research\n“StCLE12 peptide signaling regulates vascular development and tuber formation in potato” \n11:15 – 11:45 Break \n11:45 – 12:10 Julia Mars\, Experimental & Computational Plant Development and Plant Stress Resilience\, Utrecht University\n“How do microbes shape suberin patterns in sorghum roots?” \n12:10 – 12:35 Indira Sánchez Bretones\, Laboratory of Cell and Developmental Biology/Plant Developmental Systems\, Wageningen University\n“Unravelling the mechanisms behind inflorescence termination in tomato” \n12:35 – 14:00 Lunch \n14:00 – 14:25 Yuki Hata\, Laboratory of Biochemistry Wageningen University & Research\n“Exploring the evolution of plant apical meristems through fern research” \n14:25 – 14:50 Max Goessens\, Cell and Developmental Biology\, Wageningen University & Research\n“Microbial Volatiles Attenuate Auxin Transport in the Arabidopsis Root to alter Root System Architecture” \n14:50 – 15:20 Break \n15:20 – 15:45 EPS Theme Name discussions \n15:45 – 16:25 Keynote: Monica Garcia Gomez\, Utrecht University\, The Netherlands \n16:25 – 16:35 Closing by Viola Willemsen \n16:35 – 17:30 Borrel

SUMMARY:New Date: WUR Postdoc Day: Connect\, Share & Succeed
DESCRIPTION:Are you a postdoc at WUR? \nPostdoc Day is a great opportunity to step away from your usual research routine and reflect on where you want your postdoc to lead next. It offers career advice from senior researchers\, alumni\, recruiters\, and professional-development staff\, while giving you the chance to connect with fellow postdocs\, share experiences\, and openly discuss work schedules\, struggles\, and failures. Most importantly\, you go home with a stronger feeling of connection\, the confidence that you can manage the challenges ahead\, and the understanding that there are many different ways to be successful. \nFee: €50* \nLocation: 9248 Aurora \nRegistration: open \nProgramme : \n\nPlanning your career ahead\nHow to deal with failure?\nMeet alumni and discuss career choices\nChallenge: How creative are you?\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to build your network and shape your future! \n* As an employee of WUR you have an assigned budget for courses/conferences. You can make use of that for this day. \nRegister

SUMMARY:EPS 2nd year PhD meet-up - Shaping your PhD journey (NEW DATE) - Nov 2026
DESCRIPTION:EPS 2nd year PhD meet-up – Shaping your PhD journey \nDate: NEW DATE 25 November 2026\, 12:00-16:00\nVenue: Wageningen Campus\, Radix building\, rooms M1/M2 (M1.160 & M1.161)\nTarget group: 2nd year EPS PhD candidates\, max 30 participants\nCosts: free event\, but registration required and no-show/late-cancellation fee is 50 EUR\nRegistration: closed (deadline 23 October)\nECTS: 0.2 credits \nAll EPS PhD candidates that are (approximately) in their 2nd year are cordially invited to join the 2nd year PhD meet-up on 25 November. During this meet-up you will have a chance to try some simple tools for self-reflection and discuss with your peers how things are going with you and your PhD project. \nA PhD trajectory is not just about producing new scientific insights\, it is also about gaining personal insights and developing yourself. This meet-up will therefore focus on cultivating a reflective mindset that can help you to shape your personalized learning path for your PhD time. \nQuotes from participants from the 2025 edition: \n“Speaking your mind with your EPS peers in a relaxed setting while reflecting on your PhD journey is a great end-of-week activity.”\n“A great opportunity to reflect on my PhD journey and realize that it is not only about the destination.”\n“Listening to fellow PhDs about the challenge they face in the PhD process and getting advise from others about our own challenge can be helpful…” \nPreliminary programme \n12:00-13:45 Part I – Reflecting on yourself and your goals\n(discussion over lunch\, which will be provided) \n13:45-14:00 coffee/tea break \n14:00-16:00 part II – Reflecting on your PhD journey
