IGZ EV WOMEN IN PLANT AND SOIL SCIENCE NETWORK

The WIPSS-Net was founded within the MycoPakt project. It aims to promote networking and experience exchange among female scientists and students in plant and soil sciences. The names, contact data and major research fields of the members of our network can be found in the WIPSS-Net Member List. As a WIPSS-Net member as well as an anonymous user you have the opportunity to use the WIPSS-Net Forum for experience and information exchange on various topics. The activities of the network further include the conduction of workshops where women in executive positions in science are invited not only to present their recent research advances, but also to report on their scientific career and to exchange experience with younger scientists.

The WIPSS-Net is open to all female and male researchers and students in the field of plant and soil sciences !
