The event was aimed at young researchers and students worldwide, creating a space for the exchange of scientific experience and the exploration of innovative technologies in the fields of biological and agricultural sciences.
A five-member delegation representing the Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection of the University of Lodz participated in the programme:
Students
- Julia Krupaj (Biology)
- Miłosz Dwojak (Forensic Biology)
- Zuzanna Jopkiewicz (EcoCity)
Staff and Doctoral Students
- mgr Katarzyna Sanek (doctoral student at the Doctoral School of Exact and Natural Sciences, University of Lodz)
- dr hab. Agnieszka Rewicz, Associate Professor at the University of Lodz (Department of Geobotany and Plant Ecology)
The participants were selected through a faculty competition coordinated by dr hab. Marcin Kiedrzyński, Associate Professor at the University of Lodz, and Dr Aamir Khan (Department of Biogeography, Paleoecology and Nature Conservation).
The programme was structured around three main pillars:
- Participation in advanced lectures covering, among other topics, genomics, phylogenetics and plant epigenetics, bioengineering and ecotoxicology.
- Laboratory classes in HZAU’s state-of-the-art facilities, as well as study visits to Chinese biotechnology companies.
- Sightseeing in Wuhan (including the Yellow Crane Tower and the Hubei Provincial Museum), workshops on the traditional art of flower arrangement (hua dao) and a tea ceremony.
