Dear UV4Plants members,
We are pleased to announce the UV4Plants Training School in Ostrava, Czech Republic, from 15th to 17th October 2025*. The training school is designed for PhD students as well as for master students who have previous experience in plant research.
This three-day event will focus on experimental approaches to evaluate plant responses to light stress (excessive PAR or UV), particularly its effect on photosynthesis and the optical properties of leaves. Participants will have the opportunity to explore a combination of physiological, biochemical, and biophysical techniques through hands-on laboratory exercises. The interpretation and synthesis of experimental results will form an important part of the workshop for the student group.
The detailed Programme is in the First Circular Ostrava 2025.
The registration form is given here.

The 5th Network Meeting of the UV4Plants Association was held and successfully completed on 20. – 22. March 2024, Goettingen, Germany. The conference was organized by a great team led by Susanne Neugart, Tobias Pöhnl, and Layla Engelhardt. The meeting gathered 50 scientists at different stages of their scientific careers from Europe, Asia, and North America. The Delegates had a great time sharing their experiences and research on UV radiation in a broad context. A detailed report is available in
