Lehrinhalt

This course is a mandatory part of the European doctoral network BIOTOXDoc, limited to doctoral candidates of the project. In a 2.5 days introductory session in presence, students will be learning about the concept, challenges and opportunities in biotoxin research, together with fundamentals of climate science, data management, scientific communication, etc. The initial training session includes the introduction of academic and industrial project partners to introduce their area of expertise, the projects they supervise and their vision for the future in the biotoxin area, including mycotoxins, phycotoxins and plant toxins. The initial training sets the stage for further self-study in the relevant subjects, supervised by the BOKU teachers, but also by the supervisors of the individual projects. The self study includes search for, reading and understanding provided and newly discovered scientific literature, the preparation of a scientific poster and the preparation of an oral presentation. At a final 2.5 days session, the students will present their obtained knowledge and give their presentations.
Inhaltliche Voraussetzungen (erwartete Kenntnisse)

Completed master study in biology, chemistry, environmental sciences or a closely related area.
