CRC 1644 Summer School 2026
This September, CRC 1644 is bringing its early career researchers together for a five-day Summer School on the University of Potsdam campus. Designed and organised by doctoral researchers and postdocs of the CRC, the programme spans data science training, a dedicated day on phenotypic plasticity, and a career day open to the wider research community.

About our CRC:
This interdisciplinary programme comprises 18 projects led by 20 Principal Investigators from the University of Potsdam, the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology (MPIMP), the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI), the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ), the Humboldt University (HU) and the University of Cologne.
By integrating genetics, cell and developmental biology, physiology, evolutionary biology, ecology, computational biology and mathematical modelling, we will achieve a step change in our understanding of phenotypic plasticity as an evolving trait of critical importance for the fate of plant populations in the face of environmental change. Our consortium is structured into a Project A area, which studies plasticity to conditions, and a Project B area, which studies plasticity to resources. The central Project Z2 ensures synergy through data integration across the CRC.
