Fungi, Solar Panels and Citizen Scientists - Presentation of the FungiVE Project

  • 18:30 - 19:00
  • National Institute of Biology, Večna pot 121, 1000 Ljubljana
  • The event is intended for the general public, secondary school and university students, and anyone interested in microbiology, renewable energy, citizen science, and modern molecular biology methods. Citizens who contributed to the project are especially welcome. We will present how participants collected samples from solar panels and how these samples are analysed using state-of-the-art molecular methods.
  • Rhythms in ecosystems, Rhythm of Science

Discover the results of the FungiVE citizen science project, where members of the public helped investigate fungi on solar panels and their detection using advanced molecular methods

A PhD within the European MSCA DN network LongTREC: how the next generation of RNA sequencing helps us study plants under stress

  • 19:45-20:00
  • National Institute of Biology, Večna pot 121, 1000 Ljubljana
  • The event is aimed at researchers and the interested public.
  • The rhythms of plant life, Rhythm of Science

An overview of the European project LongTREC (MSCA Doctoral Network), in which the National Institute of Biology (NIB) develops new bioinformatics workflows for the analysis of long-read RNA transcriptomes and applies them to studies of plant responses to various stressors.
