The EACH Winter School 2018 took place in Lyon, at Valpré. As can be seen in the group photo, the weather was not very wintery. The sun and warmth were a great joy to the students from the Nordic universities.

General information:

Every year, Winter School (WS) is held in the second half of January (duration: approximately 1 week). EACH programme Winter School usually takes place in one of the four countries: Estonia, Sweden, Finland or France. It includes (1) short courses on novel and timely topics of analytical chemistry and metrology in chemistry delivered by external scholars, including individual/group work by students; (2) presentations by second year students on the progress of their master theses; (3) team work on solving analytical problems and (4) discussions and interviews and selecting 1st year students to study tracks. All consortium students participate in the WS.
