Phenotypic Plasticity Day

17 September 2026 | House 27, Room 0.01, Campus Golm, University of Potsdam

We are delighted to invite you to the CRC 1644 Summer School Day on Phenotypic Plasticity in Plants, taking place on 17 September 2026 in Potsdam!

Shaped by nature, not just by genes: this one-day event, organized as part of the CRC 1644 Summer School, brings together researchers to explore how plants adapt and respond to their environments. From genotype-by-environment interactions and epigenetic modifications to natural variation and beyond, our speakers will share cutting-edge insights into the mechanisms that shape plant phenotypic plasticity.

 

Whether you are an early career researcher or an established scientist, this is a wonderful opportunity to hear from our speakers on the latest research on the subject, exchange ideas, and build connections within the phenotypic plasticity community.

We look forward to welcoming you to Potsdam!
