Reminder: APPN Workshop on Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging powered by PHENOSPEX

by Jez,Jakub

Dear colleagues, the first deadline for the registration to the APPN Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging workshop is approaching! In case you want your plants to be scanned please register till the 1st Sept. 2017 on http://www.appn.at/registration/ For details please refer to the mail below and the attachments. Best regards, Jakub Jez -- Dear colleagues, It is a great pleasure to invite you to the APPN<http://www.appn.at/> Workshop on Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging which will take place October 12th & 13th 2017 at the Vienna Biocenter. For the workshop, PHENOSPEX will visit the VBC with their new PlantEye F500 device and perform multispectral 3D scans of your samples. Your plants will be grown at the VBCF PlantS Facility and scanned one day before the workshop. Therefore, we need to receive your seeds in advance (deadline_1). Hands-on data analysis will be performed during the workshop - follow-up discussion of derived results will be discussed on the second day in individual meetings. “PlantEye F500 is a 3D laser scanner combined with multispectral information. It generates 3D point clouds of plants in high resolution and combines it on the fly with a 4-channel multispectral camera in the range of 400-900nm. This unique sensor fusion concept delivers spectral information for each data point and automatically computes a diverse set of validated morphological plant parameters.” Key dates: Workshop: 12th Oct. 20017 Discussion of results: 13th Oct. 2017 Registration: www.appn.at/registration<http://www.appn.at/registration> Deadline_1: 1st Sept. 2017 (if you want your samples to be scanned) Deadline_2: 1st Oct. 2017 (general registration deadline) Please note that there is a limited number of participants – the first come first serve principle applies. Attached to this email please find the workshop flyer for publishing. Please help us to spread the news! We are very much looking forward to meeting you at the Vienna Biocenter in October!

by Jez,Jakub

Dear APPN community, We have recently re-arranged and updated the APPN homepage: * APPN news will be streamlined and shared via the VBCF_PlantS Twitter account which has been embedded on the APPN main page<http://www.appn.at/>. In case you want to share your plant phenotyping related news please mention “@VBCF_PlantS” in your tweets so we can re-tweet them. In case you don’t use twitter, simply send us your news via email (short text, images, links etc.) to appn(a)vbcf.ac.at<mailto:appn@vbcf.ac.at> so we can tweet for you! * For Marketing and PR we have established an APPN leaflet which is attached to this mail and also available for download<http://www.appn.at/contact/downloads/> on the APPN homepage. The leaflet will also be available in German soon. * Plant phenotyping related publications of the APPN Community will be listed on ResearchGate (Project: Austrian Plant Phenotyping Network – APPN). The link to the project can be found on the APPN homepage under “Expertise<http://www.appn.at/expertise/>”. * In case you wish to post vacant positions on the APPN JobBoard<http://www.appn.at/about/jobboard/> please send us an email with all relevant details. EVENTS: APPN Workshop on Multispectral 3D Plant Imaging (powered by PHENOSPEX) will take place October 12th & 13th 2017 at the Vienna Biocenter. For details and registration please follow this link<http://www.appn.at/registration/>. Registration DEADLINE for scanning your samples: 1st Sept 2017 COST WG1 / EPPN2020 Workshop: Current and future applications of phenotyping for plant breeding; 29th - 30th of September 2017, Novi Sad, Serbia.
