Purpose
The aim of the workshop series in general is to create possibility for PhD students in plant breeding to get an overview of some modern methods applied in plant breeding, in order to help choice of methods when planning research projects.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to
- have knowledge about advantages and limitations of the patent system in relation to modern plant breeding
- have understanding of legislation of the patent system in the context of collaboration projects between academia and industry
Content
The content is given as a series of three workshops held online and spread over time, a form suggested by PhD students. Every workshop consists of presentations giving a theoretical background of the method and examples of applications, followed by a group discussion. Literature will be available beforehand in a Canvas room. One can choose to participate in one or more workshops, but in order to get credit points, participation in all three workshops is needed. Topics that will be taken up are intellectual property rights, the patent system and legislation with real-life examples. The themes will give an overview on tools that will positively contribute to breeding of important crops from a holistic point of veiw.
Examination Formats and Requirements for Passing the Course
To pass the course, a PhD student have participated in three workshops, and written a reflection of methods in relation to one's own project.
