The LIFEGENMON and EVOLTREE summer school on ‘Scientific writing, reviewing and publishing and forest genetic monitoring knowledge transfer into practice’ provides Ph.D. students, junior and senior researchers training sessions on the production, the submission and the reviewing process of scientific publications. 

The summer school focuses on scientific writing and scientific publishing in exact sciences, and in (applied) biological and forestry sciences. The training consists of lectures and practical training with many examples, tips and tricks.
