The CASEE Board and the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU) warmly invite and highly encourage all staff members and especially PhD students from CASEE universities to submit an abstract for an oral/poster presentation for the 11^th CASEE Conference held under the main theme “CASEE universities as laboratories for new paradigms in life sciences and related disciplines”

Global Challenges University Allicance (GCUA) Workshop "Life Science Universities and the UN Sustainable Development Goals"

The workshop will be held at BOKU from April 16 to 18, 2018. Special offer for CASEE members: accomodation cost coverage possible (please contact: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)! Registration deadline: April 1.

CASEE Photo Contest
Life Sciences in Central and South Eastern Europe

First prize: Danube by Daria Sikorska, WULS                                                         

The CASEE network invited all CASEE students and staff members to participate in a photo contest to find the most representative images for CASEE. 

CASEE's aims are:
•    to strengthen research, education and University Development in this region
•    to develop joint research, educational and other projects (e.g. joint curricula, joint continuous educational offers, structural development, human resource development, QA, know-how-transfer, e.g. via an e-platform…)

In the contest we were looking for pictures which illustrate one or more of these aims and point out the common grounds of the Danube region and Life Sciences.

Next to our logo the pictures will form the basis four CASEEs corporate design and will be used on our homepage and on printing material.

The prizes were awarded at the CASEE Conference, April 28-29, 2011 in Gödöllö, Hungary (first prize: free registration to the conference and a surprise).

Honorary Prize: Wetland Vegetation by Ivana Vitasovic Kosic, University of Zagreb
