| It’s a comprehensive graduate course on alpine plant life in the Swiss central Alps, jointly organized by the University of Basel and the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center (PSC) for graduate students (PhD level) with basic training in plant science. The course covers microclimatology, vegetation ecology, reproduction biology, aspects of biodiversity, soil science, ecophysiology and ecosystem ecology. Morning and evening lectures, field excursions and teamwork on small projects will make this week, in a truly alpine environment, a lifetime experience. The ALPFOR research station is surrounded by a great variety of typical alpine vegetation, covering glacier forfields and late successional alpine grasslands. Course Location: ALPFOR research station, Furka Pass 2440 m asl http://www.alpfor.ch/general.shtml | |

| Registration: Please pre-register by sending, your name, affiliation, PhD program and a motivation letter to franziska.grob@unibas.ch until 27 February 2025. Acceptance information: 2 April 2025, confirmed registration after paying the fee by the end of May 2025. PhD-students in the PSC programs enroll via /staffnet/en/service/courses-continuing-education.html. University of Basel students register via Unibas Services (MOnA). Participation for Master students is very limited (decision based on graduate degree). Costs: Participants travel on their own means and organization to the Furka Pass. The full board costs for the 6-day course are CHF 400 all-inclusive. For PhD students enrolled with the PSC PhD Program in ?Plant Sciences” or ?Science and Policy” the course costs will largely be paid by the PSC on a first come first serve basis (up to 6 graduates). Once accepted for the course, fees are due by 28 May 2025. Once paid, participation is confirmed. | |
