Course objectives
to know personally the Czech and Slovak experts in the field of study phycology / algology;
to obtain current information about phycological research and new methods;
to identify natural habitats and ecotopes of different taxa of cyanobacteria/cyanophytes and algae;
to learn to identify taxa of cyanobacteria and algae using various actual existing methodologies;
to establish or to re-establish friendly future professional contacts with colleagues from other universities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia;
Syllabus
  • Excursion (course) is always held within the famous cyanobacterial-algal "Chantransia course";
  • The course is designed for university students of all study levels who are engaged in field of cyanobacteria or algae;
  • Or, for students whose field of study touching with cyanobacteria or algae, or simply want to see how does it look in research area of phycology.;
  • Particularly there are welcome students from the 1st and 2nd year of their study, whos are seeking bachelors or master thesis topic and would like to learn about the algae and cyanobacteria ;
  • What is the plan?;
  • The course usually takes place annually in October between 1st to 15th;
  • The course lasts for 4 days;
  • Lectures on taxonomy, molecular biology, ecology, morphology, physiology and applied phycology.;
  • There will also be excursions to local waters and a subsequent microscopic practicum.;
  • An indispensable rich cultural and entertainment program.;
  • For older students is ready to present the theme of their bachelors, master thesis or dissertation in the form of a traditional minisymposium.;
