BIOVEGEN participated yesterday in the XXII Meeting of the Spanish Society of Plant Physiology. This biennial congress, sponsored by the Spanish and Portuguese Societies of Plant Physiology, is one of the main scientific meetings dedicated to the study of the functioning of plants in both its basic and applied aspects held in the Iberian Peninsula.
BIOVEGEN’s participation was framed in the discussion table titled “Perspectives in Training in Plant Physiology: University-Business Relationship,” moderated by Manuel Pineda (University of Córdoba) and also included:
- María Dolores Rodríguez. University of Salamanca
- María Isabel Trillas. University of Barcelona.
- Torben Jahrmann. Semillas Fitó (Barcelona)
- Pedro Molina. IdenBiotechnology (Navarra)
The session analyzed new and potential training areas for future professionals that are strategic for the industrial sector, and whether they are sufficiently represented in the education that university students receive at different levels (undergraduate, master’s, doctorate). It also addressed the perception of the industrial sector’s involvement in the training of future professionals; finally, measures were proposed to promote the Academia-Business connection in the training of future professionals.
