PINC site News!

I just noticed that the site of PINC (Postgraduate International Nematology Course) has an all new "face".

For those who does not know, PINC is a Master course at Ghent University, Belgium. It is a 2-year programme taught in English. The nematology section at Ghent University is an internationally renowned centre for education and research on nematodes of different groups.

They aim to train people from all over the world into high qualified nematologists taking leading jobs in plant protection, sustainable management of natural resources, biocontrol of crops, biomonitoring and conservation of aquatic and terrestrial environments, and estimating biodiversity.

The Master of Nematology programme includes training and research on the morphology, systematics and biology of plant parasitic, insect parasitic and free-living nematodes. It also covers fundamental as well as applied aspects of Nematology and concerns different groups of nematodes in all possible environments: natural soils, agricultural soils, aquatic sediments of freshwater, brackish or marine habitats, temperate and tropical regions.
