13th European Training Course on Carbohydrates (Summer Course in Glycosciences) in Wageningen, The Netherlands, April 13-17, 2014.

This broad course in glycosciences combines general introductions in the field of polysaccharides and glycoproteins with in-depth parallel sessions. This gives participants the possibility to focus on specific interests without losing a broad education. The course is at graduate level. The course may be valuable for those working in research and industry that are willing to refresh their knowledge within the broad field of carbohydrates and for graduate students working on a PhD related to carbohydrate chemistry, biochemistry, biology, chemical technology or food science. All participants will be encouraged to introduce themselves and their work by presenting a poster during the course.
