Wageningen PhD Symposium (WPS)
The Wageningen PhD Symposium (WPS) is an annual event organized by the Wageningen PhD Council at Wageningen University & Research, the Netherlands (WUR). The goal of WPS is to bring together young researchers from all disciplines to give insight on their research projects and to foster learning, inspiration, wonder, and ultimately, provoke scientific discussions that matter. WPS always has themes that are related to WUR's educational goals and research activities, and more specifically to the University’s mission in exploring the potential of nature to improve the quality of life.
