Pre-Symposium Workshop


The Pre-symposium Workshop on May 20, 2025 is an exclusive training designed to provide hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge on emerging omics technologies and their applications in plant biology. In view of the current situation in the country, we have decide to conduct the symposium and workshop in hybrid mode. The number of offline participants for the workshop are limited to only 15 (based on selection). This workshop will offer a focused learning environment, ensuring personalized guidance and interaction with expert trainers. Participants will gain valuable insights into cutting-edge methodologies, equipping them with the skills needed to address complex challenges in plant genomics and bioinformatics. The workshop is ideal for PhD students and scientists eager to deepen their expertise in the field. Please note that participants who have registered for the Symposium will be given preference for selection. A registration fee of ₹3,540 (including 18% GST) will be charged for offline participants, which covers training materials and access to all workshop sessions. Accommodation will be available for these days on payment basis. Breakfast and lunch will be charged extra during the workshop. Refreshments will be provided during the workshop.
