Nick Bos, Christopher Pull and Michael Poulsen arranged this PhD course in Social Evolution November 2019. The course was fully booked and PhD students from both Denmark and abroad participated in this highly successful course. During the course topics such as social organisation, cognition and communication were discussed and the week ended with poster presentations from all participants.

Lecturers included:

• Prof. Ashleigh Griffin (Oxford)
• Dr. Eli Leadbeater (Royal Holloway)
• Dr. Nathalie Stroeymeyt (Fribourg)
• Dr. David Nash (Copenhagen)
• Dr. Michael Poulsen (Copenhagen)
• Dr. Christopher Pull (Royal Holloway)

We hope that it will be possible to run similar courses again!

Seventeen PhD students from Denmark and abroad came to Copenhagen for the course "Chemical and Genomic Insight to Parasitic and Mutualistic Host-Microbe Interactions" organised by Assoc. Prof. Michael Poulsen, Assoc. Prof. David R. Nash and Assist. Prof. Henrik de Fine Licht from the University of Copenhagen.

Guest teachers included:

• Asst. Prof. Christine Beemelmanns from the Leibniz-Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (https://www.leibniz-hki.de/en/institut-staff-details.html?member=87)
• Asst. Prof. Thomas Tørring from Århus University (http://pure.au.dk/portal/en/persons/thomas-toerring(b03df36b-0252-4e5a-aeee-7113f77cad12).html)
• Prof Andreas Schramm from Århus University (http://pure.au.dk/portal/da/andreas.schramm@biology.au.dk)

We hope that funding will allow us to run the course again in spring 2020!

This short documentation shows the basics of our interdisciplinary research project “secondary metabolites from insect-associated microbes”. In collaboration with the research groups of Christine Beemelmanns, Duur K. Aanen and Wilhelm de Beer we are investigating the microbiome of fungus-growing termites with respect to their ecological function and potential to produce new natural products.
