Advanced Training

The MetaFungal project has played a pivotal role in training the next generation of scientists by supporting the academic and professional development of students and early career researchers. As a result of the project’s activities and mentorship, four Master's theses and one PhD thesis have been successfully defended. Three additional PhD projects are currently ongoing. Furthermore, the project has provided valuable research opportunities for several undergraduate students through hands-on projects and lab-based training. These achievements reflect MetaFungal’s strong commitment to education, knowledge transfer, and fostering future expertise in the field of fungal biology.
