Non-photochemical quenching workshop

22/09/2015 - 25/09/2016 Event HHU, Düsseldorf

Studying response to excess light energy

This interdisciplinary workshop aims at bringing together a dievrse group of researchers working on non-photocheical quenching mechanisms in plants and marine organisms. It will provide a platform for a focussed discussion and and exchange of cross-disciplinary ideas and results. The topics of the workshop will include various aspects of NPQ, ranging from molecular mechanisms of quenching, over new measuring techniques to constructing theroetical descriptions of the process and mathematical modelling. Side of lectures conducted by worldwide experts in NPQ research, there will be a significant time devoted to gain hands-on experience in using mathematical models. The workshop is designed to bring together a group of around 20 participants in an early stage of their scientific career.

Invited speakers:

David M. Kramer (Michigan State University)
Roberto Bassi (University of Verona)
Michel Goldschmidt-Clermont (University of Geneva)
Peter Jahns (Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf)
Giovanni Finazzi (CNRS Grenoble)
Angela Falciatore (Université Pierre et Marie Curie)
