International DAAD-Alumni-Summer School "Recording, Monitoring and Managing
Biodiversity - Implementation oriented Research"

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is providing financial support to
organize the international DAAD-Alumni Seminar "Recording, Monitoring and
Managing Biodiversity". It will take place at Kassel University from 28th September
to 05th October 2009 in Witzenhausen, Germany.
The main topic of this Summer School is the demonstration and discussion of
classical morphological-systematic field methods and of molecular methods for
recording and characterization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
(PGRFA). The role of ex situ and in situ agrobiodiversity conservation concepts will
be discussed as well as conservation measures in governmental and non-
governmental organizations and institutions. The seminar will address the question
how recording and documentation of biodiversity in the home countries of the
applicants can contribute to the international concepts.
