Aim and content
This course aims to give participants an advanced understanding of the nature of interactions between plants with fungi exhibiting different lifestyles, focusing on biotrophic (such as powdery mildew and rust fungi) and hemibiotrophic interactions. The course will focus on the biology of the interactions with the plant and other microorganisms. Another emphasis is the availability and use of different means of disease management based on disease resistance, epidemiology and biological control. The course is five day full time at a conference centre near Copenhagen preceded by preparation through a journal club once a week for two months using Zoom. Three internationally renowned researchers will participate in the course holding lectures and workshops with the participating students who will come primarily from two Danish and three other Nordic Universities.
We also expect participation from the three Baltic countries (i.e. the BOVA network)

This course is running within the NOVA PhD programme and is 36th in the internationally acclaimed series of Nordic PhD courses in Plant Pathology.
The other Nordic partners/Contacts are:
• Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), (Department of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology, Prof Magnus Karlsson and Prof Emeritus Dan Funck Jensen)
• Norwegian University of Biological Sciences (NMBU), Prof May Bente Brurberg
• University of Helsinki, (Docent Minna Pirhonen, Prof. Fred Asiegbu)
