A forum to discuss the future - 1st Lab Retreat of the Molecular Environment Group
04.03.2011 - 06.03.2001 in Kilpisjärvi (Finnland)
In autumn 2010, the Molecular Environment Group was established at the Institute of Arctic and Marine Biology at the University of Tromsø. The members of this young group with its unique composition of expertise in molecular and cellular biology, plant physiology, microscopy and microbial ecology met at the beginning of March for a 3-day retreat in the Finnish Kilpisjärvi.
|
The objectives of this first retreat were:
Research group leader Kirsten Krause gives a short résumé of the 1st lab retreat of the Molecular Environments Group at the Departement of Arctic and Marine Biology. “This weekend in Kilpisjärvi increased our awareness of the wide spectrum of research topics in our group and pointed out the extensive methodological potential we have at our disposition. Overall, the retreat that was organized by the four postdocs of the research group and was attended by researchers, technicians and students alike succeeded in consolidating the group and will be followed up by annual repeats. |
