The Gatsby Plant Science Summer School 2022
The Gatsby Plant Science Summer School (GPSSS) was established by the University of Leeds in 2005 and is now part of the Gatsby Plant Science Education Programme (GPSEP) at the University of Cambridge.
The 2022 Summer School, in its 18th year running, will take place in late June.
The summer school is a unique opportunity for first year (or second year in Scotland) students studying at the below universities, to discover the challenge and opportunities of studying plant science, through talks from leading scientists, careers sessions, eye-opening workshops and thought-provoking discussions with researchers and peers.
To see what last year's summer school involved, take a look here.
You can also see lectures from past years on the Gatsby Plant Science Education Programme YouTube channel.
The academic advisor and co-founder for the school is Dr Celia Knight, the project managers are Dr Charlotte Carroll and Claire Pennycuick, and the project coordinator is Dr Andrea Paterlini.
