Energy cycle and basics of redox chemistry - The course will first give an introduction about some fundamental concepts in physics and chemistry that are essential to understand the transfer of energy in living organisms. Photosynthetic organisms as green batteries - The course will then focus on plants and their extraordinary energy metabolism allowing them to store solar energy to power the rest of living organisms as well as our societies. More sustainable future - Through many examples, we will see how photosynthetic organisms can be used to operate a green transition at different levels of our societies. Lectures are mandatory, no exam. On-site. Start date earliest Autumn 2025.
