.

Expected previous knowledge:

Ideally participants have already basic knwoledge from VO Molecular biology of plant-pathogen interactions (or equeivalent) - but this is not a formal entry requirement.<br>.

Learning outcomes:

The participants obtain an overview about the current status of the field and current open research questions and hot topics. They select a current publication which is breaking new ground or is reporting a relevant technical advance. Participants extract the most relevant information and prepare a powerpoint presentation and deliver a clear takehome message to fellow students.
.

Exam method:

Own presentation and attendance of at least 50% of presentations of other participants is required for a positive course certificate. Evaluation based on clarity of presentation and presentation technique.
